Staggered Grid

Randomized Panel Sets

A facade defined by flat panels and glazing. The facade is made of a standardized set of panels and glazing units. The panel size and sequence is randomized within a range so that columns in a specified grid are always covered by a panel. The facade has a low window-to-wall ratio (<40%). Given sufficient solar exposure the panels can be used for building-integrated-photovoltaics (BIPV).
