Louvres

Right, I've been working on the atrium today, trying to get some semblance of form to work. I've decided to clad the whole thing in louvres to keep it from overheating



This view really starts to show hoe prominent the louvred atrium is, and how you really read it as a seperate element to the zinc boxes





Here's the view across the park again, you can see the fire escape atrium has had a similar louvred treatment but needs finishing



And lastly here's a view from ground floor looking right up through the atriu, you can see one one side we have the external louvred glazing, but internally there is another line of glazing for fire protection and to augment the effect of solar gain
