Exterior view of Kiss-Architects' Home project,
An exterior precedent demonstrating the integration of perforated metal screening with climbing vegetation to soften an architectural envelope within a public park.
- What we like about this project
- A prominent inclined steel column breaks the roofline, functioning both as a structural brace and an armature for climbing plants.

- Geometry
- An angular, multi-faceted structure with curved edges and a tilted structural upright element supporting a perimeter screen wall.
- Facade system
- Expanded or perforated metal mesh screen system supported by steel framing, interspersed with climbing green vines.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame structure supporting an external architectural wire mesh screen.
- Spatial scale
- Medium-scale civic or utility structure, roughly two stories high relative to surrounding landscape and light fixtures.
- Lighting
- Bright midday sunlight under a clear blue sky, casting distinct shadows across the paved path and the building's base.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, open, and lively public atmosphere blending industrial metal texture with softening natural greenery.
- Environmental context
- Urban park setting with paved walking paths, turf grass, mature trees, and high-rise apartment blocks in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The building sits adjacent to public park pathways, mediating between the open green landscape and the structured enclosure.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical posts and climbing vines establish a regular repeating rhythm across the curved wire mesh facade.
