Sliding sunshade for residential building

The Parc de la Fonderie residential complex is located in the heart of the old industrial area of the city of Fribourg. The buildings comply with the Swiss 'Minergie' standard, which covers comfort, energy efficiency and climate protection. A special role is played by the envelope, which features an ingenious system of metal curtains made of expanded metal mesh that slide on rails. This system allows for efficient solar control over the balcony space, where you can adjust the light and heat to suit your needs. Expanded metal mesh panels are positioned for shading when required; They can be moved if you want to enjoy the sunlight and the magnificent panorama of the hill and park. This mobility of the panels also makes it possible to animate the large façades and 'break' the monotony of the floors.
