Case study
A spectacular Dome of Natural Light. A multi sensory experience or nature within a climate controlled glass and steel dome, with the worlds tallest indoor waterfall.
Designed by world renowned architect Moshie Safdie, the Jewel complex is a distinctive dome-shaped façade made of glass & steel, based on the geometry of a torus., with the Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at its heart.
Central to the design is the abundance of lush vegetation, indoor gardens and water features which offers a variety of experiences for visitors in addition to helping to cool the building interior, improve air quality and also collect and harness the significant rainwater. The complex which connects the different terminals at Changi airport as its primary function embraces a new model for airports as discrete destinations for shopping, entertainment, and social activity to create a public gathering space for Singaporeans and international travellers alike.

Jewel weaves together an experience of nature and the marketplace, dramatically asserting the idea of the airport as an uplifting and vibrant urban center, engaging travelers, visitors and residents, and echoing Singapore’s reputation as ‘The City in the Garden’
Moshe Safdie, Architect
The unique design of Jewel meant that smoke and heat ventilation were key considerations and working alongside the project team and local partners, we designed and installed 105 Kingspan Lumera SHEV windows, in both rectangular and triangular shapes.
How does it work? High-quality architectural ventilation window: The Lumera can be mounted at an angle of 0-30° with an opening angle up to 70°.
Concealed Controls: Controls hidden within the window frame for aesthetic appearance.
Different Shapes & Sizes: The Lumera is available in triangular and rectangular models, in a variety of sizes to suit all project requirements.

728 panes, each measuring 3.5 metres by 2.8 metres. Standing 12 metres high and 77 metres in diameter, the glass dome is the centrepiece of the EDGE Amsterdam West redevelopment. The spectacular dome transforms the previously unused outdoor space into the new heart of the building.

Architecture, experience and fire safety. On the Belgian coast in Middelkerke, the casino complex received a makeover. Silt is now a multifunctional building with a restaurant, event hall and car park, among other things, designed for intensive use, and where safety is central.
