An exterior facade precedent highlighting precise horizontal panel articulation and a louvered roof enclosure, useful for corporate and research campus envelope studies.
- What we like about this project
- The central V-notch creates a sharp, symmetrical axis that cleanly splits the heavy louvered penthouse screen.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical V-shaped composition focusing on the building's upper corner and parapet levels, featuring clean horizontal banding and crisp reveals.
- Facade system
- Unitized metal and composite panel system with continuous ribbon windows and operable louver screens at the roof level.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with non-loadbearing curtain wall and cladding systems.
- Spatial scale
- Upper stories and roof parapet of a mid-to-high-rise research facility viewed from below.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting sharp diagonal shadows across the white panel facade and highlighting the vertical fins of the roof screen.
- Atmosphere
- Crisp, structured, and clean under strong daylight.
- Environmental context
- Clear blue sky background framing the upper facade and roof level of the commercial research facility.
- Spatial experience
- The upward-looking perspective emphasizes the crisp geometry of the parapet screen and the rhythmic layering of the horizontal spandrels against the clear sky.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating horizontal window strips alternating with light composite panels, capped by a vertical louver rhythm at the parapet.
