Delvendahl Martin project
An exterior facade precedent by Delvendahl Martin demonstrating a contemporary metal-clad sawtooth roof extension inserted atop a traditional brick urban fabric.
- What we like about this project
- The exposed timber lining within the open corner loggia provides a warm contrast to the cool exterior metal facade.

- Geometry
- An orthogonal street wall topped by a sequence of rhythmic sawtooth or pitched gable volumes framed in pale metal cladding, inserted against older brick party walls.
- Facade system
- Standing-seam metal panel cladding over punched window openings and a deep covered terrace cutout.
- Structural guess
- Lightweight timber or steel framing addition resting on existing masonry structure.
- Spatial scale
- Low-rise urban context; the metal-clad addition spans approximately one to two stories above the base brick wall.
- Lighting
- Direct daylight under a partly cloudy sky, casting soft shadows across the vertical standing seams and metal faces.
- Atmosphere
- Crisp, daylight-driven contrast between weathered historic masonry and clean, light metal geometry.
- Environmental context
- Urban infill setting featuring older multi-story brick residential or industrial buildings and pitched zinc roof dormers in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The extension reads as a lightweight, repetitive pavilion layer set back behind a security fence and historic brick base, contrasting old and new massing.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical standing seams on the facade echo the multiple peaked gable forms across the elevation.
