Indoor greenery
More indoor green space is designed in the building to provide more recreation for people to stay. Millennium Mills is a large building that obstruct most of the sunlight behind the building. More glass walls allow more insolation to go inside the building to make full use of natural lighting and reduce electricity consumption.
