BIO-PLASTIC PANELS
The whole building is enveloped under an operable mesh that is made out of Bio-plastic (ARBOBLEND®). The material itself provides a translucent effect yet leaves a minimum impact to the environment since it’s particle can be reprocessed in the future time.
MECHANIC CASE STUDIES
ENVELOPE ELEMENTS
The envelope consists of 3 parts
TYPE I – AUTOMACTIC ROTATING PANELS
TYPE II – MANUAL FOLDING PANELS
TYPE III – HORIZONTAL SINGLE-AXIS TRACKING PV PANELS
LIVING BEHIND THE FACADE
The dwellers allow controlling the mechanism of the façade themselves to respond to the climate and visuals. We see how Valencia people love the outdoors so the private terrace is given as much quality as the room.
