Titouan Longatte – Volut
by Titouan Longatte
Conceived as a response to noise pollution in urban environments, Volut is a window shutter that incorporates acoustic insulation to shield living spaces from external disturbances. The insulation is provided by removable panels that block noise by absorbing sound waves. The panels pivot to allow light and air into the room while preserving their acoustic properties. The structure relies on standard aluminium profiles and sheet metal, enabling easy adaptation to different window dimensions and seamless integration into façade frames. The shutters are devoid of any superfluous elements; the hardware is concealed within the profiles, resulting in a minimal architectural element that evokes silence both visually and acoustically.
