Glass louvers

To limit views into the houses, a system of louvred glass slats sculpted with a rippling pattern is included into the building’s façade. The cast glass louvers have a water wave texture and a thorough relationship to the steel beams and construction. RCR investigated a method to orient the view of all the flats towards the Ocean, and developed a system of glass slits that funnel light into the rooms all day while safeguarding individual privacy.

The architect’s drawings versus the final detailed construction

There is a discrepancy between how the louvers were constructed in reality and how they were drawn by RCR. Even though the original sketch depicted the same ideas, they were not the same as what was eventually created.

The manufacturer shows how construction drawings differ from architectural drawings. This is due to the high amount of detail required to construct the drawings, such as labels, materials, and measurements.
