Skylight

PanoramAH!

The architect and designer Le Corbusier was already considered a pioneer in architecture in the last century for his stunning open façade designs. The Centre Le Corbusier in Zürich from the 1960s, for instance, is fascinating as it replaced the more familiar materials of concrete and stone entirely with elements of steel and glass. The design of the PanoramAH! skylight with its minimalist appearance offers a similar kind of open aesthetics and at the same time embodies a solution to a common problem: panels of glass set at an angle had hitherto been impossible to open fully. The system relies on an innovative track solution that allows sliding elements to be easily operated at any given angle. This not only provides better ventilation but also easier access to roof terraces for example. Self-explanatory and intuitive-to-use, these innovative elements can be operated both manually and by electric motor. Moreover, this system can also be operated via contemporary building management systems in order to automate tasks and connect them to wind and rain sensitive sensors. The well-thought-out concept of the PanoramAH! skylight also makes the production of window systems of up to four sliding tracks possible. The skylight complies with the highest technical requirements and standards, and ensures good heat insulation as well as outstanding waterproofing. Based on an innovative approach, this system offers new possibilities in architecture and thus a new outlook.

Statement by the Jury

The system of the PanoramAH! skylight is well-thought-through to the very last detail. Following a logical approach, its design solves the problem associated with glass panels set at an angle, which had hitherto been impossible to open fully. The system is based on an innovative track system that allows inclined panels of glass to slide. It thus offers more options in architecture.
