Shinjuku Gyoemmae Residence (ZOOM Shinjuku Gyoemmae)

The facade of this 15-storey apartment block is divided into two elements by the combination of colours and materials. The balconies are deliberately covered with solid dark grey aluminium panels to hide the service elements that we do not want to emphasize in this apartment are unified and made to blend in and not stand out. The horizontal slabs and randomly installed vertical louvres form a delicate cage-like structure, creating a new cityscape.
