INTEGRATED LIGHTING SYSTEMS FOR ARCHITECTURE
Zahner works with designers to develop custom lighting systems which integrate into a built facade or architectural detail.

Developing lighting as part of an integrated architectural system
For many works, Zahner will take on the lighting and other scopes of a project as part of the larger building envelope. This is in large part due to the advanced nature of many of the building systems developed with Zahner. The most efficient way to build complex architecture is through the use of complete, prefabricated assemblies.
For instance, on complex curving forms, Zahner manufactures and preassembles these parts in the company’s shop facility. These forms include not only the exterior rainscreen, but also the water barrier, insulation, electrical, lighting (and more). By integrating the lighting into the pre-assembled unit, the part will arrive on-site ready to install by a typical labor crew, and no speciality trades are required in the field.

SYSTEMS
ZIRA™
ZIRA™ was developed to enable designers to automatically translate an image, graphic, or design to metal. Instead of simply selecting a standard perforation, designers are now able to use their own imagery to create stunning patterns and designs across a metal surface.
