We design building exteriors by balancing raw materiality and structural volume, creating homes that are as responsive to the climate as they are visually striking.

For the SR Residence, I sculpted the facade with scooped-out volumes and textured screens, creating a dynamic interplay between solid and void. This approach allows for interesting indoor-outdoor experiences while maintaining a strong, modern presence.

A wider perspective of the SR Residence, showcasing how the stone and concrete facade integrates with the landscape. The design balances monumental form with the human scale of a private home, complete with a lush terrace and floor-to-ceiling glazing.

This residence facade is a study in modern minimalism, layering raw concrete, expansive glass, and rich wooden textures. The composition of stacked volumes and integrated planters creates a home that is both geometrically pure and harmoniously blended with its natural surroundings.

The 'House of Courtyards' features a facade that integrates dark concrete textures with vertical wooden slats. This material contrast provides visual depth and responds to the climate by creating shaded, semi-enclosed spaces.

Another view of the 'House of Courtyards' residence, highlighting the interplay of materials. The design uses landscaped terraces and strategic openings to ensure the home is both private and connected to its environment.

This minimalist residence uses a warm metal slat screen as a key facade element, balancing the solidity of the concrete structure. The elevated volume creates a sheltered space below while rooftop greenery softens the clean architectural lines.

Named 'Slice of Heaven', this apartment building facade uses stacked, offset volumes to create private, deep-set balconies. Each unit is given a connection to the outdoors, with integrated planters that bring a layer of green to the concrete structure.

Here, dark grey marble cladding and warm wooden slats are combined with cascading vertical greenery. This biophilic approach to facade design creates a living, breathing exterior that is both sustainable and visually dynamic.

This facade design explores the beauty of curved forms and rhythmic articulation. Horizontal slats wrap around the building's volume, providing passive shading while creating a unique architectural identity grounded in raw concrete.

About Sculptural Exteriors & Facades

When we design a facade, we analyze the local sun and wind path to determine where to place solid volumes and where to introduce screens. This ensures that the building remains climatologically responsive while maintaining privacy, rather than simply applying a decorative layer to the structure.
