Neurocampus, Bordeaux

Bordeaux is a city in France that is influenced by the Atlantic climate, with lots of sun and wind. For functional reasons conventional sun protection was therefore out of the question for the neuroscience campus. The sun protection was also required to be in harmony with the transparent perforated metal skin that forms the building's external façade.

This was successfully achieved using the s_enro metal blind, which when down blends in as one with the façade. When extended, the micro-louvre blind forms a single unit with the external façade, while at the same time withstanding high wind and solar loads. The maximum degree of transparency and transparency enables an excellent view.
