112 Blackwell Close
An exterior architectural rendering by Al-Jawad Pike showcasing a residential infill project with textured precast concrete panels and stacked recessed balconies.
- What we like about this project
- The corner stacking of balconies creates an open vertical void that counterbalances the mass of the solid concrete panels.

- Geometry
- An orthogonal multi-story residential volume featuring stacked recessed balconies on the left corner and a regular grid of punched windows across the primary facade.
- Facade system
- Textured precast concrete wall panels with inset wooden-framed glazing and delicate metal railings.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with flat slabs and column supports.
- Spatial scale
- Five-story multi-family residential scale, relating comfortably to neighboring urban context.
- Lighting
- Soft, overcast daylight casting gentle, diffuse shadows across the textured concrete surfaces and deep reveals.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, muted overcast daylight emphasizing the tactile quality of the rough concrete and timber-framed openings.
- Environmental context
- Urban infill setting adjacent to existing low-rise brick housing and gravel pedestrian landscaping in the foreground.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents a solid yet refined urban presence, with recessed balconies offering private outdoor extensions sheltered beneath deep floor slabs.
- Composition rhythm
- A steady horizontal layering of floor slabs paired with a regular vertical rhythm of window alignments.
