Tilt Industrial Design has re-written the rules of a traditional industrial design studio. The Sydney-based team is moulding the future of the built environment by giving architects creative freedom to develop their designs beyond the constraints of traditional construction methods.
The design team is responsible for the revolutionary heliostat technology of One Central Park in Sydney, named the World's Best Tall Building in 2014.
Tilt has since collaborated with top architects, including BVN, Robert Simeoni, Techne, and Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, on the Sydney Opera House.
The studio actively identifies and delivers on the architecture industry's needs.
With increasing urbanisation, comes the rising need to open up inner-city roof terraces to gain access to views and take advantage of Australia's temperate climate.
Tim Phillips, Managing Director, TILT, recognised a gap in well-designed skylight products available for architects.
"We wanted to create beautifully-designed Skylights & Hatches that would be respectful to an architect's creative intent and complement the space they're featured in," Mr Phillips says.
The architecture industry is already positive about the launch of TILT's Skylights & Hatches.
Tim Greer, Director, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, says the firm is already working with Tilt on large-scale projects and is excited about Skylights & Hatches' opportunities for the architecture profession.
"Tilt has made moving architecture a possibility again," Mr Greer says.
The Skylights & Hatches are an automated system created for architecturally designed projects of high quality and beauty.
The product opens up opportunities for roof terraces providing seamless extensions of the home and for new (often spectacular) vistas to be unveiled and maximised.
As the only operable glass skylights available on the market that can be utilised with a standard staircase, they greatly increase light and ventilation in a space.
Tilt has already delivered a vast array of innovative projects. It is focused on allowing architects to realise their ideas through access to the latest technologies, innovative manufacturing, and project maintenance.
