BŌK Modern specializes in designing and developing innovative architectural metal panel systems. BŌK Modern developed custom Sunshades and Canopies for Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects' Mission Bay South Block 9 residential building.
These 140 supportive studio apartments are located in the rapidly changing Mission Bay area. They were constructed using modular, factory-built methods, which helped to shorten the overall construction schedule. To ensure optimal energy efficiency and occupant well-being, BŌK Modern designed custom sunshades and a canopy system to reduce heat gain, particularly from the south-facing windows. The sunshade pattern includes an integrated mounting system for bird wire installation, and the BŌK Modern support bracket was custom-built for easy integration with the exterior siding. Additionally, a welded shim plate was used to allow the bracket to sit close to the window and conceal the bolt head, resulting in a clean waterproofing detail.
Product System Used
Sunshade: BŌK Modern Sunshades are available in four distinct designs: Bracketed Sunshades, Full Height Bracketed Sunshades, Bracketless Sunshades, and Trellis Structures. BŌK’s panels can be created from various flat sheet metals that are strategically designed and laser-cut in a customizable selection of patterns and shapes. The panels can be custom-formed to an infinite variety of 3-dimensional configurations.
Canopy: BŌK Modern selection of canopy options includes the Direct Mount Canopy, Bracketed Canopy, and Rod & Clevis Canopy.
- Direct Mount Canopy: This bracket-less design is directly attached to a concrete slab using embedded Unistrut or Bok’s Universal Bracket Connection, simplifying penetrations through the waterproofing system.
- Bracketed Canopy: Available in perforated, picket-style, or solid types, this traditional design provides sun-shading or rain protection. Details minimize the appearance of brackets for a cleaner aesthetic.
- Rod and Clevis Canopy: Designed for deeper overhangs, this option extends up to 8′ from the building's face, providing larger coverage without heavy structural steel framing.
