High Tech Style Guide

High Tech architecture celebrates and accentuates a building’s construction. It is characterised by lightweight materials, steel and glass, transparent walls, exposed beams and cables and service areas, often picked out in bright colours. Interiors are flexible and spacious.

What to look for in a High Tech building:

  • Steel and Glass
  • Flexible Interiors
  • Expressed Construction
  • Bright Colours
  • Lightweight Materials
