The residential quarter by the water is shaped like river terraces or the weathering of mineral volumes: the upper parts of the buildings dissolve into the sky thanks to panoramic glazing, gently blending into the natural surroundings.

grid

The facades are built on an orthogonal grid with a unified module, but their rhythm becomes significantly more complex: instead of regular windows of the same size, various parts of the facade feature compositions of multiple modules—square and rectangular openings of different configurations invite careful observation of the buildings to appreciate the intricate sculptural play. Balconies create additional layers and rhythms on the facades.

COLORISTICS

Warm shades close to earth tones—cold ochre, dark terracotta, and reddish clay—were intentionally chosen for the facade cladding. This mineral palette enhances the natural character of the architecture.

Denser facades clad in bricks of various shades create stepped silhouettes that continue the ideas of natural layering. By subtracting form on the upper floors, terraces with views of the water and the surrounding city emerge.

The use of panoramic glazing dematerializes the corners of the buildings, transforming the familiar shape of a residential building—where heavy monolithic silhouettes once prevailed—into transparent crowns.
