Faroe Island Redesign

For the facade redesign, triangulated shades were added to the exterior. The shader can be opened or closed by the users if needed. The shades were added to prevent uncontrollable daylight and glare through the windows as discussed as a primary issue with moving the building to Boston. The shades are also useful for adding an exterior protection to the glass facade given the addition of a snowy winter at this site. With this, there is now a second insulated layer covering the window to cut wind impact and also help to limit unwanted heat loss and gain when fully closed. The shades were made to open fully, exposing the windows to allow sun to pass through in the winter in attempt to create a passive heating strategy during the day. The shades cover the whole facade to create the look of a fully textured surface bring a more cohesive aesthetic. Although they appear along the entire facade, only the shades over the window can be opened.
