To Infiniti and beyond!
The Grand Hyatt New York’s bar and restaurant was recently renovated and now features a new contemporary decor, with an illuminated bar and an ultra modern Solar Shading solution, by Levolux. The Infiniti Fin system is an innovative, flexible Solar Shading system that accommodates a wide range of Louvres, which can be secured internally or externally and fixed horizontally or vertically. With unique concealed fixings and an integral stainless steel locking plate, Louvres can be fixed at almost any angle and can be cantilevered past the last vertical support. 77 extruded aluminium Aerofoil Fins, measuring 150mm wide, were fixed horizontally above the bar and restaurant, suspended under an inclined glazed roof from existing steelwork. The Aerofoil Fins, each spanning 2750mm, create a striking continuous aesthetic of blades at high level, running along the length of the building. Additional extruded aluminium Louvres are to be incorporated elsewhere, fixed vertically to form an attractive three- sided Louvre screen. Levolux’s Infiniti Fin system, with its horizontal and vertical Aerofoil Fins, successfully blends form and function to create an attractive, yet highly efficient shading system.
