Facade Redesign

Front View

     This facade presents a sophisticated contemporary infill design that harmonizes industrial materiality with a classic urban rhythm. The building’s identity is defined by a rigorous tripartite composition: a monolithic, matte-black metal plinth at the street level, a primary body of tactile, light-grey linear brickwork, and a modern interpretation of a zinc-clad mansard roof. Large-format, multi-paned steel windows are deeply recessed within the masonry, creating a play of light and shadow that emphasizes the facade’s depth and structural permanence.

     The transition from the smooth, dark commercial base to the textured, narrow-format bricks provides a clear functional hierarchy. The four-bay window arrangement maintains the historical verticality of the streetscape while utilizing clean, minimalist detailing. The standing-seam metal roof features integrated dormers that echo the proportions of the windows below, blending traditional silhouettes with high-end modern finishes.
