Sun shading needs to be considered as part of the architecture, responding to the building, its environment and the project’s performance requirements. We start by understanding the design intent and the conditions of the project, then determine the most appropriate way to resolve the shading requirements.

Some projects call for solutions that don’t exist off the shelf. From unusual openings and complex façades to demanding performance requirements, we draw on product knowledge, engineering thinking and practical experience to work through the details and find a considered way forward.

Every project has its own design intent, constraints and requirements. Rather than starting with a predetermined answer, we consider the architecture, environment, performance and operation together to develop a solution that belongs to the building.

Our involvement extends beyond product selection and specification. We work alongside the project team through design development, documentation, manufacture, installation and commissioning, helping ensure the solution is properly resolved and delivered as intended.
