An exterior architectural precedent showcasing a patterned double-skin facade and broad low-slung massing suited for arid civic contexts.
- What we like about this project
- Intricate traditional geometric patterning adapted into a large-scale modern architectural sunscreen.

- Geometry
- Low-slung, multi-winged massing featuring continuous patterned screen facades above solid base volumes, set beside a reflective water body.
- Facade system
- Perforated patterned screen wall over glazed interior envelope.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with concrete core and suspended exterior screening system.
- Spatial scale
- Large public institutional scale spanning multiple wide bays over two to three stories.
- Lighting
- Direct bright daylight casting crisp shadows against a clear blue sky, emphasizing the facade screen texture.
- Atmosphere
- Clear, arid, and monumental with strong linear reflections in still water.
- Environmental context
- Open site with arid mountain backdrop and a man-made foreground reflecting pool with reed planting.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across an open landscape plaza, the building presents a monumental horizontal silhouette mirrored in the foreground pond.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating geometric motifs across the upper facade band contrasted with solid horizontal base walls.
