The benefits of using precast concrete include quality assurance, increased time efficiency, enhanced construction safety, durability, reduced wastage, and neat working areas due to reduced clutter Precast concrete is also resistant to fire and flooding and can be easily deconstructed

Spider fitting frameless glass curtain walls, connect glass together in an open space to form flexible and unobstructed glass façade Fully spider fitted glass walls not only maintain the safety of aluminum glass curtain wall but also eliminate the disadvantages of the later in singular structure and restrictions from construction structures

Perspectives

HEALTHY LIGHTING

To reduce the demand for artificial light, built environments should make use of natural light and the way it changes throughout the day

HEALTHY INDOOR AIR

By reducing emissions or increasing ventilation efficiency, it may enhance the quality of the air within a building

THE FORM & CLARITY OF AN ENVIRONMENT

An environment that is lively will promotes wellness, but the space also needs to be clear and simple to understand in order to be healthy

TAKING THE SENSES INTO ACCOUNT

Materials, colors, forms, lights, sounds, and fragrances are used to create a multi-sensory experience Natural materials do not just pleasure our perception of touch, but also our senses of sight and scent

NATURE CONNECTEDNESS

No matter what the view looks like, the patients may stay connected to the outside world by being able to stare out the windows Windows link the inside to the outside and let the outside scenery serve as ornamentation.
