Project and approach

Pixellated jade patterns informed the placement, scale and transparency of the curtain-wall panels. The system was developed to maintain visual variation while preserving an ordered composition.

My role

As Façade Designer, I was responsible for the curtain-wall design, from the initial concept through the pattern logic and detailed layouts. I refined the pixelated jade effect and coordinated the material selection and panel arrangement.
