Architecture is not only the art of building, but also the art of not building.
Where gaps, voids, and terraces may be the last remaining bastions for architects within infill projects.
In this exercise, by floating brick façades within the common framework of concrete blocks and patiently extending them inward, we sought to carve out fractures and voids—creating both shade and perspective within the infill project—while, to the extent of our ability, negotiating an expression of transition and shifts in aesthetic sensibility.
Formed through an exposed concrete structure and volumetric brick units embedded within it, each box of this family residence carries its own story. Yet the story we narrate is one of inside and outside, of past and present, of light and shadow...
The delicate façade lines formed through concrete and brick evoke a paradoxical sensation of lightness and weight, while the interplay of warm and cool tones between these materials further reinforces this sensory duality.
The greenery embedded within the façade, with its ever-changing presence, instills a sense of vitality and joy, evoking movement, transformation, and the continuous flow of life. The integration of vegetation into the façade can be interpreted not merely as an aesthetic gesture, but as a multilayered approach aligned with the principles of sustainable architecture. Beyond enhancing visual quality and contributing to the identity of the urban frontage, this green layer improves the thermal performance of the building envelope, reduces energy loss, and enriches the project’s microclimate. Moreover, the presence of vegetation strengthens the users’ connection with nature, enhances the sensory and psychological quality of interior spaces, and creates a richer environmental experience for both occupants and the wider urban community. The selection of native, drought-resistant species further ensures reduced maintenance demands and supports a sustainable operational cycle for the project.
In an era when fleeting trends and popular fashions shape the urban landscape, a design approach grounded in architectural principles, geometry, and aesthetics may offer a redeeming solution for the city’s disordered visage.
