Kinetic Facade

A student housing project in Slovenia for students at Ljubljana University designed by Bevk Perovic Arhitekti. The facade is made up of aluminum panels that can be opened up to reveal balconies, or kept closed for more privacy. Perforations in the panels allow air and light into the apartments, even when in the closed position. The panels create a dynamic facade that is always changing to suit the needs of the inhabitants.
