By using perforated panels, architect Marianne Haas of Archisign AG has not only brought light into the living rooms of the multi-family houses in Klingnau. Thanks to
semi-transparent panels, inhabitants even enjoy the terrific view without being disturbed by views from outside, matching the planners’ credo of “see without being seen”. Furthermore, the perforations enable an interplay between light and shadow which varies with the angle of the sunlight. For the balcony claddings, the planners decided to use one of the more than 100 standard perforations. Whereas the balcony claddings have more open surface and thus more transparency, the separation walls have been adapted to less transparent panels. “Thanks to theunique Bruag products, we could easily reduce the number of holes in the balcony partitions walls
without affecting the overall appearance of the complex.” comments Marianne Haas. A further feature are the continuous perforations over several panels without any interruption or frame between, due to which the harmony of the claddings is not negatively affected.
