One of the passive cooling strategies employed by Bigprototype in the Little Malibu House (Rincon, PR) is a system of fixed solar louvers to shade the southern elevation of the house from the intense Caribbean sun. The louvers are made from 6" Ipe wood decking sourced from Maderas 3C's in San Juan, PR.
Here Sarah selects and cuts the wood louvers to size in the soon to be finished garage space.
The support frames were fabricated locally and are made from stainless steel. Here John attaches the louvers to the brackets. Ahhhh! It's cooler already!!!
Almost done!
