love this design. Very interesting
Generally, this type of exterior treatment is used to cut down on solar heat gain and to reflect light to the inside. It’s very effective in reducing energy cost to cool a building, and usually results in pleasant interior lighting conditions. No direct sunlight glare but rather reflected day lighting.
i agree, looks much better in person. though the wood looks a bit worn. anyone know the price per sq foot in the building on average?
dirty hipster has it right i think
we do have a lot of the condos here that have floor to ceiling windows with curtains permanently covering the whole window (or sheets even)
Because the windows are always blocked i’ve seen some of them where people store stuff “out of sight” behind the curtain (boxes, bicycles, etc) which looks pretty bad from the street
think the slats are to avoid these problems, that corner i believe should have a lot of sun as well
“It does look a lot better in person but I do wonder what the appeal of slats in front of your window is.”
I wonder the same thing about the slats. If they somehow provide privacy while letting in sunlight I can see how that could work. There’s nothing worse than these new condos with floor-to-ceiling windows where the owners put up really crappy, mismatching window treatments.
It looks like a business casual outfit from 1992.

This building looks much better in real life than in photos.
