HOLLAND PARK SCHOOL, Is now regarded as one of the best state school in London.The striking facade made up of copper, brass and bronze which adds character to the building and integrates with the heavily wooded nature of the site.A curved brise sole is an architectural feature of a building that reduces heat gain within that building by deflecting sunlight and softens the impact of the large building .It also fulfils its primary function of substantially reducing solar gain and glare.Due to the building’s orientation, this elevation receives more solar gain than the east side and vertical fins are more effective in controlling glare while maximizing daylight.
The facades are designed such that full-height fins set at three – apparently random – spacing, continuing over the roof. A soft, sine curve is developed for the fin profiles, which gives an organic feel.
- The copper and copper alloy clad fins which are thin in section.
- acts as an effective barrier to glare and unwanted solar gain from afternoon sunshine
- Viewed from an angle, the fins come together to generate a stunning effect of dynamic sinuous forms across the facade.
