Perforated wiremesh

The wiremesh facade not only solves the functional aspect of the shading the commercial building, but also tries to create a new type of relation with the streets. When the sun is up, the perforated wiremesh facade stands out and the direct sun light is delicately scattered by the facade. When the sun is down, the interior light permeates through and generating a different façade from the daytime.
