Currently under construction, this façade design pleats in and out to create a theatrical performance with the urban fabric.
Introduction
For this low-rise mixed use building located in central Panjim we were approached by the developers mid-way through construction to create an interesting façade / envelope design .
To design this façade, we focused on three core principles of identity, well – being and context which we felt were critical to design a new envelope that suited the building as well as the surrounding area.
Inspired from the surrounding mix of green and low rise building fabric for this residential building in Panjim , our design proposes to drape the concrete shell with metal tubes that expand and compress to create a performative façade.
Concept
Conceptualized as an ‘urban drape’ , the façade design is created with a lightweight metal framework that pleat in and out across the elevations to create a theatrical performance within the urban fabric.
Facade Concept Diagram
The crimson colour of the pleated metal screen is to complement the existing red earth and terracotta roofs. The drape screen acts as framework for the green plants while providing a cooling screen to the building.
The drapes also create a wireframe for local flowering plants that will create an additional green curtain that will transform over time and seasons.

Façade
The façade drapes are designed with a pre-fab modular strategy that enables for efficiency in making, costs and installation.

Balcony Planter Typology
Along with the drapes, the balcony designs are designed with a variation of planters, glazing and metal balustrades animating the façade further while creating an interesting experiences from the interiors.
