This element, known as a brise soleil (French for "sun breaker"), is a fixed external louver system installed above windows to obstruct the sun's rays penetrating the building's space during the peak of the day when the sun is at its zenith.

In the Hadar HaCarmel area, the brise soleil serves primarily decorative purposes, emphasizing the building's horizontal lines. Moreover, it is selectively placed to enhance the structure's aesthetics, as not all windows require shading.
