Ginkgo Innovation Center Atrium Perforated Curtain Wall Project
A multi-story atrium used a continuous perforated metal curtain wall extending from facade to ceiling, inspired by ginkgo leaves, water ripples, and topographic lines.
The Challenge
The atrium needed a seamless artistic metal surface with gradient cut-outs, daylight play, warm backlighting, and concealed installation across wall and ceiling zones.
Our Solution
Large CNC laser engraving and punching formed champagne-gold PVDF aluminum panels with folded reinforced edges and concealed aluminum frame hanging.
