Rear elevation by Delvendahl Martin
An urban infill rear elevation precedent by Delvendahl Martin showcasing a playful juxtaposition of eclectic roof profiles, standing seam metal cladding, and arched masonry forms within a tight context.
- What we like about this project
- The dramatic swoop of the curved standing seam roof profile abruptly terminating against a flat-roofed neighboring context.

- Geometry
- An asymmetrical composition stacking varied roof profiles and volumes over an existing brick base, featuring a central curved standing-seam metal volume flanked by an arched concrete mass.
- Facade system
- Standing seam metal panel cladding paired with white-rendered masonry walls and brick base.
- Structural guess
- Lightweight timber or steel superstructure addition sitting atop a masonry base.
- Spatial scale
- Three-to-four story urban infill scale, referenced by the parked SUV and adjacent brick boundary walls.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight casting soft, even illumination with minimal shadows across the metal and masonry surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Quirky, collage-like urban atmosphere combining industrial metal textures with residential domestic scales.
- Environmental context
- Tight urban service courtyard or parking area enclosed by older brick walls and neighboring residential structures.
- Spatial experience
- The view presents a dense, unexpected urban rear courtyard context where contrasting geometries and materials collage together against traditional brick walls.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical standing seams on the central curved roof contrast against the punched horizontal openings and arched architectural elements.
