BIOCLIMATIC PERGOLA WITH CUSTOM ALUMINUM STRUCTURE

The construction of the new headquarters of this company is completed with the project of the managerial entrance. After the completion of the building works, the customer had two main needs: to provide additional solar shading to reduce the heat on the glass surfaces of the offices facing south and to enhance the entrance of the building.

In this project, the use of the bioclimatic pergola instead of a fixed cover, offers the advantage of being able to change the inclination of the adjustable blades depending on the solar irradiation. In the morning the offices need natural light, and the blades can be locked in an upright position while in the afternoon with the rotation of 45 ° it is possible to shield the windows from the sun, reducing the heat input and still have good lighting. Having positioned the cover at a height of 3 meters guarantees this effect.

The choice of the same color of the profiles of the windows also for the pergola makes it one with the existing building. It almost seems that the canopy was inserted from the beginning within the project of the building. The detail of the cantilevered corner allows you to keep the passage from the entrance free. An important note especially for a space for public use, reduce interference for greater use of the space. A careful survey allowed to fix the uneven profile of the wall side and place the columns on the curb that divides the flower bed avoiding visible brackets.
