About this asset

Modern grey metal tapered louvre sunshade Revit family featuring a cantilevered frame with parallel horizontal blades mounted to an exterior wall. This architectural sunshade element features a projecting horizontal cantilever structure engineered to manage solar heat gain and direct sunlight. The frame incorporates tapered side plates that narrow towards the exterior edge, finished with a rounded bullnose front profile. Arranged within the perimeter enclosure are multiple parallel louvre blades with contoured profiles positioned to shade glazing assemblies below. Rendered in a neutral architectural grey material finish, the geometry provides clean, crisp linework suitable for technical drawings, elevations, and exterior building envelope visualisations across contemporary developments.

The download is a 215 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.

Designed as a native Revit family component, this sunshade can be loaded directly into architectural project models and positioned along building elevations or hosted above window openings. Users can assign custom project materials to the frame and louvre blades, adjust visibility graphics for clear elevation drawings, and duplicate types to suit varying facade modules. The lightweight file ensures minimal project overhead during documentation.

Well suited for contemporary commercial offices, educational facilities, healthcare centres, and multi-family residential facades requiring passive solar shading. Specifiers looking for cantilevered sun louvres, architectural brise-soleil components, metal sunshades, or wall-hosted exterior louvres can place this element over curtain walls, ribbon glazing, and punched window openings. It pairs effectively with modern aluminium window systems, rainscreen cladding, architectural concrete, and composite facade panels across schematic design through detailed facade documentation packages.
