The Design

About Molten High Edificio Residencial de Varias Plantas

Molten High es un edificio residencial de varias plantas situado en una ciudad cálida y seca de la India, donde la alfarería fue una profesión tradicional. El diseño evoca un recipiente de arcilla deformado durante su elaboración y posteriormente cocido. Una piel paramétrica cubre la escalera del suroeste y aporta luz filtrada y ventilación a los peldaños, formando un contraste con la sencilla sucesión de ventanas y balcones. El aspecto fundido de la fachada se logra mediante nervios de plástico reciclado fabricados a medida. El edificio mide 20 por 4 metros en planta y alcanza una altura de 50 metros.
