Project Description

This is an air conditioner side-flow outdoor unit. 

Designed with appropriate aesthetics through a layered surface language, and colored to reduce visual clutter of internal components. Research indicates the need to visually immerse with exterior architectural structures. Balancing aesthetic with performance, this unit also comes with a host of design-driven user-benefits. The patented diamond wave-like blade is designed aerodynamically to consume less power and mitigates noise level, and prevent water or snow blockage to perform in extreme weather conditions.
