The design features a minimalist square frame with a lofted surface integrating rotational mechanism, giving it a sleek and modern aesthetic. The perforated panel transforms from a flat surface into a sculptural form when deployed, adding depth and dynamism to the facade. The smooth metallic finish enhances the contemporary appeal. This kinetic system not only serves a functional purpose but also acts as a visual and spatial experience, creating a dynamic interplay in architectural design.
This kinetic facade panel operates through a pivot mechanism, allowing the perforated surface to transition smoothly between open and closed states. The movement is driven by a hidden actuator system, likely powered by a stepper motor and a custom gearbox, ensuring controlled motion. When activated, the panel pivots outward, adjusting the amount of sunlight entering the space. In its resting position, the panel sits flush within the frame, maintaining a seamless appearance.
