Arranged around central atria and courtyards, echoing the symbol for infinity “∞”, the design creates a variety of shared indoor and outdoor spaces that build the strong sense of community that defines Infinitus’ corporate culture.

A network of sprinklers that are controlled by the building’s smart management system and powered by photovoltaics spray atomized rainfall onto the ETFE membrane roof above each atrium to disperse heat through evaporative cooling. This transparent, double-layered ETFE membrane roof features a pressurized air hollow that is 60 cm deep.
