The Diamond Skylight System features a striking pyramid form crafted from four triangular glass panels, blending natural illumination with sculptural elegance. Utilizing an all-glass-fin support structure, concealed clamping system, and embedded titanium connectors, it delivers a seamless, boundary-defying visual effect. This precision-engineered design echoes the geometry of natural crystals, creating a truly distinctive architectural aesthetic.
The structural core consists of four glass fins, which form stable connection nodes at their ends through monolithic stainless steel attachment fittings. The other ends are pinned to cross-shaped stainless steel sections that double as auxiliary drainage channels, significantly reducing the exposure of fasteners. An interlocking hinge mechanism connects the glass fins, effectively absorbing deformation from surrounding steel structures. The hinged connection allows stress release through its flexible movement, preventing structural damage.
To enhance the overall sophistication and aesthetic appeal, the skylight panel glass and glass fins are connected with embedded titanium plates and screws, cleverly concealing the complex joints and ensuring a clean, seamless surface.
Meanwhile, through comprehensive finite element simulation and precise 3D modeling, the design accounts for multiple factors—including typhoons, earthquakes, snow loads, wind loads, and temperature fluctuations—ensuring the skylight's safety and stability under extreme conditions. Additionally, the system integrates lightning protection, drainage, and maintenance walkways in a unified design. The drainage system is embedded within the support framework, while the glass panels incorporate safety redundancies to protect maintenance personnel during inspections.
