An innovative commercial storefront facade featuring a backlit textured glass block screen atop a raw board-formed concrete base, creating a dramatic night presence for a tea gallery.
- What we like about this project
- The boat-like angled underside of the solid concrete wall appears to float above a narrow water or shadow reveal feature.

- night-lighting
- contrast
- Geometry
- Asymmetrical composition combining a heavy cantilevered concrete base, an upper backlit textured glass-brick screen, and an angular, trapezoidal entry portal.
- Facade system
- Stacked textured glass-block light screen over board-formed concrete and structural glazing.
- Structural guess
- Non-structural rainscreen and cladding applied over existing multi-story commercial building base.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled storefront entry with a multi-story urban context overhead.
- Lighting
- Warm internal glow emanating from the stacked textured glass blocks contrasted with subtle ground uplighting at the entryway.
- Atmosphere
- Sophisticated and luminous, balancing heavy raw concrete with soft, glowing textured glass.
- Environmental context
- Urban street frontage with paved parking area and neighboring building facades visible in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The approach draws the eye from the heavy textured street-level base up toward the glowing upper volume, culminating in the dark angled portal threshold.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical horizontal layering of heavy dark base, bright glowing middle screen, and dark punched upper stone blocks.
