Living Building

This striking pavilion had to have a robust facade where flora and fauna could easily nestle.

The colour nuance, rustic texture, and masonry bond bring the building to life. The shadow effect ensures that the building looks different at each time of the day.

We created custom cornerstones to ensure the viability of this intrinsic masonry bond.

“This technical building got a unique look with the specially sized and laid bricks, creating vertical creases in the facade that resemble the natural shell of a petrified treebark”.
