Interior Circulation

Exterior Circulation

The brise soleil is blended into the building facade as both a protective exterior layer and a shading device. The outdoor walkways provide additional circulation that fosters a seamless connection to nature, inviting users to user exterior means of circulation during the warmer months. The design connects users to nature while still being within the building and provides protection from the busy street in a more controlled environmental space, enhancing the overall spatial quality and user engagement.

This shading device is comprised of two main components: rotating, vertical louvers and horizontal panels. Adapting to varying sun angles, the vertical louvers exhibit unparalleled flexibility. Each vertical louver panel is affixed with a central rod that acts as an axis of rotation, allowing for adjustment throughout the day and ensuring optimal sunlight diffusion and heat management. The horizontal panel extends out one meter from the facade, shading the interior from high sun angles. The shading device demonstrates a nuaunced understanding of the sun’s dynamics while enhancing the overall architectural aesthetics.

Vertical shading device provides shading from high sun angles, especially during the summer months.
