Project: Cummins Inc
Project brief
The Cummins Inc project presented several challenges. They
wanted the sun shield structures to look architecturally unique and
different (as art pieces) reflecting light and colour.
It was also important for the structures to be colour matched to
their corporate logo. Besides design obstacles, working four stories
up around block lights, with a gigantic glass ceiling overhead was
also a challenge for Installation Engineers.
Design solution
Fabric Architecture recommended our internal Skytes. These
dynamic, 3D sculptural fabric shapes are tensioned to a lightweight
stainless steel frame. They offer a cost-effective alternative to a
bespoke feature and a superior version to standard soffit designs.
FABRIC
The regional office of
Cummins Inc has a large
spanned glass atrium and
in the hot dessert sun, it
generates an abundance of
heat forcing air conditioners
to work overtime.
Skytes help with solar reduction by reducing direct sunlight. In
total, we installed 4 no 3m & 2 no 3m Skytes – all of which were
colour matched to Cummins logo.
