Stainless steel louvers and fins open and close [142]

A complex sunshading system of stainless steel louvers and fins open and close based on the sun’s path to maximize views out, while reducing glare and cutting down on heat gain. But the sunshading system with its triangular, square, and trapezoidal also serves to give the esthetic character to the facade.

The interesting visual effect of stainless steel louvers and fins open and close based on the sun’s path to maximize views out.

In the horizontal section can be seen the vertically mounted system with integrated wiring and motors, which allow the mobility of the stainless steel louvers. The horizontal fixed louvers that allows ventilation of the facade and maintainability of the same.
