  • Featured in Build Australia: Intuitive sun shades regulate climate for UTS Central

    UTS sun shading system, design,  featured in  Build Australia’s latest edition. The article takes you through Tilt’s design and delivery process, delivering a state-of-the art system.

     

  • The new sun shading façade strikes the perfect balance of beauty and function that modern icons require.

    A series of intricate, operable sun shades that integrate seamlessly into the north-facing façade of the UTS Central building. Which move to adjust the amount of light and heat.

    Working with architects fjmt studio, Tilt delivered a final design solution which provides complete control of the space to allow for optimal light at any time of the day. The combination of fixed and operable louvres provides dual functionality, controlled via an optimised algorithm based on the sun’s position throughout the day.

    The design concept represents an innovative approach to the management of environmental obligations in architectural design (thermal efficiency) in combination with the delivery of a functional and unique facade.

    Tilt Industrial Design managed the design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of the sun shading system in collaboration with architects fjmt. The key to successfully delivering this complexity project was an exhaustive feasibility study investigating the critical design criteria and how it could best be achieved.

    To protect the aesthetic pursuit and enable mechanical feasibility, Tilt looked into mechanical engineering, structural engineering, wind loads, electrical integration, material selection, aesthetic and functional objectives, and budgetary expectations.

    The new facade brings the tower to life, showcasing an iconic building.
