Colt 's Shadoglass system was installed at the VW Autor City with in excess of 100 glass louvres fitted to the round structure of the building.
Installed on the façade, the louvres are designed to track the rays of the sun providing solar protection whilst maximising daylight entry and climate optimisation. By absorbing and reflecting the sun's rays, Shadoglass louvres are able to reduce the burden placed upon ventilation and air conditioning systems.

The name Girasole originates from Italy: gira(re) means “to turn” and sole is the sun. Operated by a touch screen panel, the home can fully rotate in less than 10 minutes so you can rotate with the sun.
It was original owner John Andriolo’s long held dream to construct Girasole before his retirement. As an award winning builder with over 30 years experience (MAG Constructions (ACT) P/L) John commissioned DNA Architects to bring the concept to life. The house that challenges thinking about how we live and what we build. The house is located on a corner plot looking out onto protected grasslands. It's not unknown for drivers to pass the house, see it moving and accidentally drive into the kerb as the road turns the corner!
Colt have installed a Solarfin solar shading system with thermohydraulic controls which adjusts to allow daylight entry. Colt also installed Solarfin on the glass roof of the central hall, and controllable louvre modules in sliding units on the north side
of the building for sun shading.

Colt installed Shadoglass louvre to the exterior of the building to reduce the amount of solar heat gain within the building allowing for a more comfortable living space.
Colt installed a Solarfin system to reduce solar glare while at the same time maximising daylight levels through the windows.
The 300mm Solarfin blades are fixed at 400mm vertical centres, spanning 2.7m. Colt also supplied and installed the vertical side plates and the support brackets onto the main steelwork frame.
A unique feature on this site is the one piece mitred corners which span between the adjacent vertical side plates without the need for any additional support, a feature desired by the Architect. The Client on the project was Lakesmere Limited.
