Cambridge Residence
An exterior residential facade featuring corten steel wall panels and an integrated vine-covered pergola that bridges the interior spaces to a back garden terrace.
- What we like about this project
- Climbing vines trained directly onto louvered eyebrows and structural pergola beams to soften the metal facade.
