insulated louver panels

insulated cedar panel hung on aluminum frameunitized curtain systemprimary steel structure

A system of operable, insulated panels offer a rich cedar surface that opens to both control light for building occupants, and reveal the viibrancy of the building within.

Early studies reveal an attention to the building’s facade as it changes with different times and lighting conditions, focusing on reflection, glow and color.

These details, drawn for hypothetical projects, focus on both technical accuracy and the aspect of careful thought and design at a finer scale.

The objective was to produce results that were functional, efficient, resilient to wear, and beautifully composed.

Enclosure: Detailed Compositions

This design for a luminaire, named “The Blossom,” was designed on a concept of changeability to meet user needs. With the pull of a cord, the quality of light changes from focused task lighting to diffused light.

Thin wooden elements warm the light while operable frosted acrylic fins eliminate glare and focus light.

Luminaire Prototype: Unfolding Light

Reflection and multiple layers of frosted acrylic create a diffused glow to light a whole space.
