Daylighting and Exterior Shading
Angled horizontal louvers block direct solar gain while providing indirect daylighting

Layered Approach to Shading
Using off-the-shelf catwalk and bar-grating components mounted vertically to allow filtered light into spaces

Natural Ventilation Study
Operable roof monitors and windows allow for stack-effect ventilation
