Hemsworth at the moment is made up of bland buildings with no colour or shape in their design and construction. We decided to make the main windows wavy and other window spaces round to give some idea of movement in the building. The building is clad in colour panels to make it brighter and more exciting to look at. The tiles surface would be made up of recycled glass material. The windows take in heat energy but also have special coatings on them to stop overheating. They are also coated to resist dirt sticking on them. Wood strips have been added to the building as this is reneweable construction material. The roof is covered in solar panels to help supply it won power. Many of the panels would heat water and this would be the main form of heating in the building.
