Innovation Is Our Second Name
Our cutting-edge projects are carried out by a group of talented engineers who want to transform our communities. With everything we design and implement at Smart Facade System, we always try to make sure we work with our community in mind.
Bending the commonplace
Twisting Louver Facade System
The study focuses on the existing building at the corner of Frankon str and Leontos Sofou str (Frankon 13) in the city of Thessaloniki, which provides the base for the redesigning of the exterior of the casing and of the interior in order to be rehabitated. The building envelope becomes the focal point as an intermediate filter between the interior and the external environment. The shell has the ability to accept or reject selective elements of the environment, thus determining the relationship of the building with it. ‘Bending the commonplace’, a climate adaptive building envelope , comes to invest the static body of the existing building, while corresponding gestures inside complement the design proposal, which aims to create spaces to host new business uses and culture.
