Altree Court Sun Shade

13-19 Botany Street sun shading device was seen an opportunity to create a marker within the precinct and add to the amenity of the existing tenant. With its multi-coloured louvers the viewer is invited to come closer to the façade and view the carefully detailed punched pattern. The composition of the pattern weaves the message ‘K71’ which is a message of respect to the family who built the property in 1971 and still own the building today. The sun shading replaced an existing shading structure which had passed its useful life. There was a need to shade the tenancy from the morning sun to alleviate heat gain within the tenancy, which had a negative impact on the energy consumption in the tenancy. The Owner wanted to highlight the Eastern façade of the building highlighting the Altree Court entrance to the building which is the main entry point for level 1 tenancies. Photo Credit: Donna Sulway
