Balancing Light, Airflow and Privacy

Adaptive Sunshield Architecture: Balancing Light, Airflow, and Privacy" Given Thailand's hot and humid climate, many buildings that do not take ventilation into account often experience overheating. Most rely heavily on energy-consuming ventilation systems, which contribute to environmental pollution. This led to the concept of designing buildings that are open and airy, allowing for adequate natural ventilation and light, while still shielding the structure from direct sunlight.

Project Type : House
Size / Area : 275 sq.m

Adjustable louvers are employed to block sunlight by changing angles based on the sun's position. An automated system controls these louvers, keeping the building cool while allowing airflow. They also enhance privacy and serve as a decorative feature, adapting to different contexts for heat protection, optimal ventilation, and privacy.
