- story by MaterialDistrict

The daylight panels designed by Korth & Tielens architects were specifically designed for the rear wall of the Coco-Mat shop in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This wall has windows looking out on an inner courtyard. The view from these windows was not appreciated, the amount of daylight however was. The architects devised a clever way of blocking the view but still letting the daylight pass by designing panels that consist of 40mm wide cut strokes from corrugated iron, that are glued to each other on small “invisible” steel tubes.
