Use of PBM Ventilation Blocks
PBM’s VB 150-200 VentBlocks were specified for carpark façades and semi-enclosed service walls. This block features a one-sided slanted rectangular opening, offering both functional ventilation and sculptural potential.
Through creative orientation and placement of different block sizes, the design team arranged VB 150-200 units to form a wave-inspired façade pattern, reflecting the development’s seafront context.
Key design benefits:
•Natural airflow and reduced heat buildup in service zones
•Minimalist wave effect that visually echoes water movement
•Durable, low-maintenance performance suited for humid coastal exposure
