Interlocked Panels

Interlocking Tilted Panels

A single-skin facade system defined by angled, interlocking panels. The interlocking creates a chain mail or weaving effect. The angled geometry adds depth to the building envelope while acting as partial passive shading. The angled panels can be used for building-integrated-photovoltaics (BIPV).
