With the aim to create an effective protection against overheating and as a way to deal with the long hot spells in summer a new enclosure system consists of extruded aluminum louver and moveable shutters were added to the building, at the same time, the new façade units both new and old parts.

These shutters function as screens to stage-manage sunlight as they climb up and down as a group creating a moveable and playful layer over the facade.
