Object
VitraHaus, Weil on the Rhine, Germany

Concept
Herzog & de Meuron, Basel
Starting Point
The large windows of the new VitraHaus allow for a lot of light and sunshine to flood the rooms. Moreover, you can see through practically the entire building.
Solution
Motorized slanted curtains, a special version of Metric Slope III, were mounted to ensure glare protection in the ‚playhouse‘-like slanted windows.
In addition to this, curtains (Dimmer with a back lining in Universal) mounted in the middle of conference and meeting rooms ensure privacy and also absorb sound. And on the window fronts, anti-glare curtains protect against too much light and prying eyes.
