A striking interior atrium precedent showcasing a diagonal louvered canopy system that converts harsh overhead sun into rhythmic, filtered shadows over integrated indoor landscaping.
- What we like about this project
- The striped shadow cast by the roof louvers creates a textured camouflage effect across the walls and foliage below.

- Geometry
- An expansive diagonal diagrid roof structure spans across the volume, canted overhead and supported by slender columns above multi-level terraced enclosures.
- Facade system
- Large-span glazed diagrid roof integrated with exterior-facing or internal louvers for solar control.
- Structural guess
- Steel diagrid space frame with slender circular steel columns.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental multi-story atrium scale; overhead canopy spans vast open space above human-sized trees and lower levels.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight filtered through diagonal louvers, casting sharp parallel striped patterns across all vertical and horizontal interior surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Dramatic, sun-dappled oasis sheltered beneath a complex rhythmic overhead lattice.
- Environmental context
- Large indoor atrium space featuring mature trees and integrated planting beds beneath a grand climatic canopy roof.
- Spatial experience
- The viewer stands within a large covered atrium where dense overhead shading dissolves direct glare into a rhythmic pattern of light and shadow.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating diagonal louver fins across the entire glazed ceiling create a heavy graphic rhythm that washes down over walls.
