 Featuring a climate-responsive kinetic facade system, this system adjusts to the specific climate conditions and user patterns and provides optimal daylight and a comfortable indoor climate for spaces along the facade.

The climate-responsive kinetic facade system consists of 1600 triangular shutters of perforated steel. The perforation on shutters is a light, organic pattern of round holes, which provides a distinctive play of light.

In the evening, the light from the inside will pour through the perforated pattern and make the facade appear more transparent.

The solar shading system is fitted with sensors that continuously measure light and heat levels and regulate the shutters mechanically by means of a small motor.
