Screen Façade Design: Thom Faulders, with Proces2/Sean Ahlquist

The screen façade provides privacy from the street to occupants living in the open-plan private residences, and buffers the weather from exterior walkways and terraces. Architecturally, the screen façade unifies the separated Living Unit blocks on the top floors with the commercial spaces and landscaped areas below.

Separated by a 20 cm air gap, the double layer screen is derived from a compressed combination of unique patterns generated with parametric software, and is constructed using a composite metal panel material used for billboard backing and infrastructural protective coverings (such as on raised Tokyo freeways for sound isolation). To allow the cellular mesh to visually float, a matrix of thin stainless steel rods is threaded from top to bottom, to which the panels are affixed.
