Designed by P&T International Inc, Parc 66 is based from the concept of natural spring water movement. The shopping mall is able to blend with the surrounding environment by strategically locating a central plaza across the street creating a seamless relationship with the adjacent elements. The mall is divided into two buildings linked by a glass bridge. With ALT working as the façade consultant, the building façade is a combination of unitized and semi-unitized curtain wall system. Although the building seems to be relatively small in terms of height, due to its unusual geometry, it is noticeable that the building adapts a number of wall types. As a contribution to achieving a more sustainable environment, the façade of Parc 66 is designed to use low-e glass to minimize the solar heat gain, and utilizes operable windows on some areas to reduce energy consumption in lieu of air conditioning.
