Façade · Image: JAJA
The ambition was to turn a parking house from a mere necessity for cars into an attractive place for people and the city.
Commissioned for the façade only, the design reads differently with distance: from afar the large pattern dominates, up close it becomes intricate. Supported by the stretch metal, vines will eventually cover all four façades.

01
Patchwork
The pattern scales from large at the top, relating to the size of the structure, to a smaller human scale where the façade meets the street.

02
Sharp and soft
A continually shifting play between the structural and the organic. Climbing plants let time become a co-creator of the building.
