Exterior facade by Leong Leong
An exterior architectural precedent showcasing a dynamic, textured perforated metal screen curving over a transparent ground-floor retail or civic base.
- What we like about this project
- The upper screen appears woven or stamped like fabric, catching light differently at every angle across the curve.

- Geometry
- Curved multi-story volume wrapped in a continuous textured screen, sitting above an orthogonal glazed ground floor base.
- Facade system
- Custom curved perforated metal screen cladding system over upper structural levels; large storefront glazing below.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame with floor slabs supporting a secondary steel subframe for the screen.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story building facade scaled to an urban streetscape context.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight from the side casting strong highlights and deep shadows across the textured screen perforations.
- Atmosphere
- Warm metallic shimmer contrasted against the cool concrete and glass ground floor.
- Environmental context
- Urban street edge with a sidewalk, young trees, and distant high-rise buildings under a partly cloudy sky.
- Spatial experience
- From the street, the heavy perforated screen floats overhead while the transparent base invites pedestrian engagement.
- Composition rhythm
- Dense, irregular perforation rhythm creating a textile-like grain across the upper curved volume.
