Use of PBM Ventilation Blocks
PBM vent blocks were applied in key zones to enhance the building’s breathable, open character.
•VB 70.100 and VB 1905.100 were used along corridor fencing, stairwells, and façades, facilitating air movement while creating textural interest and filtered daylight.
The blocks reinforce the building’s commitment to natural comfort, safety, and visual rhythm.
