State-of-the-art use of daylight

| OKALUX | Reference

The NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital David H. Koch Center, designed by HOK, Ballinger and Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, is an impressive example of modern healthcare architecture on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Its inviting façade reflects a progressive standard of outpatient care based on transparency and warmth.

One of the key elements of the building's design is the use of OKAWOOD, a daylighting solution that integrates an intricate timber louvre into triple-glazed insulating glass units. This innovative system provides selective solar shading while allowing warm, natural light into the interior. The wooden louvre not only provides functional solar shading, but also enhances the façade aesthetically, as a unique printed pattern on the glass gives the exterior of the building a vibrant appearance.
