The descending façades from HIRT kinetics set the stage for creative solutions. Developed and manufactured in Switzerland, HIRT kinetics disappear silently into the ground at the touch of a button. Inspired by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Stefan Hirt, visionary and lead engineer at HIRT moving architecture, developed the HIRT kinetics product line.

 

When a heavy glass front or a massive wall retracts weightlessly and silently, the interior and exterior realign to form a common space. The HIRT kinetics Swiss-made precision products allow for realizing completely new spatial concepts and inspire architects all over the world.

 

The sense of wonder HIRT kinetics imparts is even more pronounced when the components are not made of glass, but instead of metal, wood or stone – materials that inspire architecture to transcend boundaries.
