Use of PBM Ventilation Blocks
PBM’s concrete ventilation blocks VB 301.125 and VB 1912.100 were selected for both their performance and design value. The VB 301.125 blocks are featured as vertical shading elements across full-height stairwell cores and facades, creating a visually rhythmic screen that promotes airflow while offering privacy and solar protection. VB 1912.100, with its finer grid pattern, is applied at intermediate levels and internal spaces, adding another layer of texture and light diffusion. Together, they form a consistent architectural language that complements the building’s raw concrete and green façade concept.
