Flat Iron Building Case Study

The Flat Iron Building

Breathing new life into a local landmark.

This iconic building in the center of town was in need of renovation. As sustainable design consultants, the owners The Stone House Group were keen to employ good daylighting techniques and selected a custom made Dayliter Shading System to suit the tall narrow windows.

Rather than select a “stack” of lightshelves the designer elected to go with a single 36” shelf but needed it to be operable. Using a new worm gear operating system, Indoor Sky were able to produce both the functionality and aesthetics that the project required. Motorized roller shades driven by a PV panel completed the system saving the owner significant money by not having to run electrical service to each window head through dense engineering brick.
