Perhaps the building’s signature element, the facade will utilize a range of innovative

technologies to control the interior conditions of the building and produce energy.
“The Milestone’s part mirrored-transparent facade integrates technology and
sustainability with the use of fritted glass to reduce overheating, PV cells to store and
generate energy, and finally, QR codes which carry information about the city in a
pixelated map spread across the building making it both visible and readable,” explain
MVRDV. “The map, be located on the lower part of the building extends to a height of
40 meters, and with stairs and terraces, it forms a publicly accessible core that tenants
and visitors can walk up to take in views of the vineyards and surrounding hills. All of
these sustainability features in the facade all the potential for the building to become
partly self-sufficient in future”.
