Modern Aluminium Louvred Exterior Sun Shade

This modern aluminium louvred exterior sun shade is a Revit family designed for effective solar control on building facades. This architectural sun shade features a clean, linear design constructed from robust aluminium members. The assembly consists of a series of horizontal slats mounted on a structural frame, providing a rhythmic, modern aesthetic while serving as a functional brise-soleil. The finish is a neutral white, offering a crisp contrast against glass curtain walls or rendered exterior surfaces. Designed for external application, the component exhibits precise proportions that integrate seamlessly with contemporary building envelopes. Its lightweight, metallic construction ensures durability against environmental exposure while maintaining a minimalist profile that does not overwhelm the primary architecture.

The download is a 1.3 MB 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.

As a wall-hosted Revit family, this component is designed for direct placement onto exterior building walls or curtain wall mullions. Users can manipulate the length and depth parameters to align the shade with specific window apertures or balcony spans. The family is optimized for standard BIM workflows, allowing for easy scheduling of materials and quantities. Apply custom surface materials within the family editor to match project-specific colour palettes or metallic finishes, ensuring consistent visual output across all rendered exterior views.
