This dynamic facade for the Invercargill Central development features Kaynemaile’s unique three-dimensional, kinetic screens. Each Kaynemaile screen has a lightweight internal frame connected to vertical stainless steel cables. A ribbon of champagne coloured polycarbonate mesh runs over each frame creating a kite-like structure, providing air flow and sun shading to the parking garage behind.

The different locations of each projecting section give contrasting light and shadow effects, enhancing the deep wave across the face. The nature of the stainless steel support system combined with Kaynemaile’s lightweight polycarbonate architectural mesh creates a kinetic, expressive building for passers-by.

Kaynemaile’s RE/8 mesh is made from 100% recyclable engineering grade polycarbonate and manufactured to withstand the demands of high temperature and UV exposure zones, plus it’s durable and easy to maintain.
