Minimalism Meets Monumentality: 146 Ultra-Slim Sliding Doors + 86 Tilt-Turn Windows bring stunning look in a 5,000m² Creative Complex

Project Type: Adaptive Reuse of Creative Office Complex

Location: Shanghai, China

Completion Date: 2022

Key Highlights:

● Products Applied: 146 Ultra-Slim Sliding Door System / 86 Tilt-Turn Window System

● Total Fenestration Area: 100m² (40% of façade)

● Total Project Scale: 5,000 m²(Office/Exhibition/Public Spaces)

Challenges

1. Large-Scale Consistency

● Visual/functional harmony: Unified fenestration system across 100m² (open offices, private studios, multipurpose halls) with zone-specific adaptations.

● Wind resilience: Oversized doors (4-8m spans) engineered to costal Shanghai's 50-year wind resilience standards via reinforced profiles without sacrificing the system-wide aesthetic.

2. Light Environment Optimization

● West-facing glare that requires tilt-turn windows with integrated shading and ventilation.

● Low north-facing daylight that requires light-redirecting glazing.

3. Dynamic Spatial Efficiency

● Seamless access: 800+ users per day accomodated via sensor-activated sliding doors with silent and frictionless operation.

Solutions

A. Systemic Product Integration Strategy

B. Precision at Scale

● Digital Pre-Assembly: 3D-scanned factory prefabrication ensured ≤1.5mm on-site tolerance.

● Modular Logistics: Oversized units split into 2.4m×3m transport modules for seamless assembly.

C. Energy Performance Validation

●100 m² Fenestration System Achieved:

●1,200 annual daylight hours gained (32% artificial lighting reduction).

●19% lower AC load in west zones (Low-E glass + tilt ventilation synergy at 0.4 window-to-wall ratio).

Outcomes

1. Value Enhancement

● LEED Gold certification secured, with fenestration systems contributing 21% to the score.

● 65% occupancy rate increase post-renovation; tenants cited "precision-controlled light/air" as a key draw.

2. Operational Efficiency

● Sliding door tracks endure 200,000-cycle durability testing with 3-year maintenance-free guarantee.

● Proprietary drainage in 86 windows resolved 98% of Shanghai's monsoon condensation issues.

Designer Testimonial:
"The 100m² fenestration system became the 'respiratory network' of this 5,000m² complex. The 146 system's invisible strength and 86 windows' intelligent responsiveness redefine human-environment interaction."
