Tensioned screen made of stainless steel woven wire covers many openings on the south and west facades of this mixed-use project. The pattern provides midday and afternoon sun shading and offers privacy both day and night.
Tension Screen systems provide an excellent means to cover a building façade for aesthetic reasons and provide for security and fall protection. This type of assembly does not require the screening material to be picture framed into individual panels. The assembly hangs from attachments at the top and is pulled into tension by adjustment attachments at the bottom. This creates a nearly seamless visual effect across the façade of a […]
Mounted to the southeast facade of this parking structure are several installations that demonstrate not only the capabilities of tension screen as a cladding and sunshading system but also its possibilities as an eye-catching signage display. In this instance, the graphic images were applied by an artist whose spray booth size limitations forced screens to be manufactured in 10′ heights; typically tension screens may extend greater than 20′ in height […]

The weave applied to the upper western and southwestern façades, Venetian Waterways I, is a standard pattern that provides similar transparency, excellent sunshading and a reflective […]
