HEX SKIN
ARCHITECTURAL FACADE
Designed mindfully to become a one-of-a-kind architectural skin.
Designed mindfully to become a one-of-a-kind architectural skin.
Individual constituent hexagons, distorted by pushing, pulling, and stretching, allow the creation of varied permutations, generating unique modules. Cut along the lines of patterns, the various modules seamlessly fit into each other through interlocking joints.
The Hexagon manifests itself as a jaali (perforated surface) wrapping around the courtyard, located at the backside of the residence.
The double-sided jaali consists of two perforated screens with the framework inserted between them. This backlit installation aesthetically uplifts the appearance of this residence, visually distinguishing it from adjacent structures.
