Perforated shutter on housing in Montréal, by KANVA [325]
Irene is a block of flats built in an old brick warehouse. One of its walls is masked with a new layer of metal windows and shutters.
A terrace separates the old body of the new glass facade. The shutters are made of a workable protections perforated steel sheet. The vertical axis swing leaves can have the entire height of a plant or separated into a zone and an upper ledge.
The gap thus created allows to control microclimate that affects the building, offering sun protection, privacy and controlled ventilation
