Details
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.
The Jury‘s Statement
A subtly structured façade gives »Shinjuku Gyoemmae Residence« a powerful, striking presence within the urban environment. The charismatic interplay of dark aluminium panels and delicate slats captivates with clarity and forms a distinctive cityscape. Thoughtful layouts and communal spaces combine functionality with elegance. This project stands out for its consistently strong design approach and exceptional quality of execution.
