About this asset

This modern grey metal brise soleil Revit family delivers an exterior sun-shading canopy with curved profiled blades and wall-mount brackets. The fixture features an extended horizontal profile formed with a gentle convex curve, serving as a protective sun hood and solar shading device. Finished in smooth light grey sheet metal, the curved skin includes subtle fastener detailing and structural rib seams along its span. At the mounting perimeter, dark grey cantilevered wall brackets support the canopy assembly, anchoring it directly to structural backings. The streamlined profile balances functional solar heat gain reduction with a clean, low-profile architectural edge designed to integrate crisply above exterior glazing bands or storefront openings.

The download is a 829 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, load this RFA component directly into your building model and align it against exterior wall elevations or curtain wall mullions. Adjust project placement height relative to level datums and lintel lines to achieve intended shadow studies and solar control. The element's clean geometry ensures lightweight performance in complex BIM assemblies, allowing straightforward material parameter overrides for anodized aluminium, coated steel, or bespoke architectural finishes.

Engineered for modern commercial, educational, and multi-family residential architecture, this wall-mounted sunshade excels on exposed south- and west-facing elevations. Specifiers frequently incorporate solar louvres and exterior brise soleil blades above ribbon glazing, glazed entrance canopies, and institutional facades to mitigate glare while refining facade depth. It pairs seamlessly with aluminum curtain wall systems, insulated spandrel panels, concrete precast cladding, and high-performance exterior doors across concept design, planning permissions, and detailed facade construction documentation.
