112 Blackwell Close
An architectural physical model by Al-Jawad Pike demonstrating massing strategies, repetitive colonnade rhythms, and punched window configurations for a mid-rise project.
- What we like about this project
- The shift from a heavy punched-window wall on one elevation to an open column colonnade on the adjacent side.
Materials
- plaster
- resin

Visual tags
- physical-model

- monolithic
- proportional-study
- contemporary
- Geometry
- Orthogonal multi-story volumetric mass with a stepped roofline and a recessed perimeter colonnade wrapping the upper floors.
- Facade system
- Column grid frame with recessed solid wall panels and punched window openings.
- Structural guess
- Column and beam structural frame with perimeter piers.
- Spatial scale
- Architectural massing model at schematic scale, representing a mid-rise multi-story structure.
- Lighting
- Neutral studio lighting from the top-left casting soft directional shadows across the building mass.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, neutral study model conveying structural order and mass.
- Environmental context
- Studio tabletop background with a simple monolithic site base pad.
- Spatial experience
- The model presents a clear study in perimeter structural rhythm versus solid punched window bays.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating column bays paired with uniform vertical window openings along the facade.
- Style reading
