Zuellig Building is a "green" office building located in between Makati Avenue and Paseo de Roxas. The world-class architectural design of the building was made by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill of New York while W.V. Coscolluela & Associates of Manila is the main architect. Zuellig building is considered a prime office space because of its state-of-the-art infrastructure, efficient building system and top-notch amenities.
Zuellig Building is considered a modernist architecture because of its all-glass facade paved with ceramic frit pattern of curtain walls. The distinctive all-glass facade which was inspired by bamboo and flowing water lends reference to vernacular and organic motifs and serves to supplement the shading capabilities of the building. Moreover, the large double-paned glass panels with low emissivity minimize solar heat gain and energy loss while maximizing the penetration of light.
So what specifically makes the Zuellig Building green? The double-paned, low emissivity (low-E) glass system minimizes solar heat gain and energy loss while penetration of natural light is maximized; the all-glass façade and use of large floor-to-ceiling panels allows for 90% of interior spaces to have daylight; CO2 censors that modulate outside airflow according to the estimated number of occupants will bring superior indoor air quality at all times; variable speed drives for chilled water pumps will reduce energy consumption during off-peak hours; water is conserved by capturing rain and condensate water; the building will be installed with premium drainage and irrigation systems; a daylight dimming system reduces the output of electric lighting based on the intensity of daylight; and a centralized paper recycling facility.
This building shows the International Style because its characteristics are: rectilinear forms; light, taut plane surfaces that
