With a shopping center already under construction, ROW Studiowas asked to design the facade for the center in Zona Esmeralda, in Mexico City. The clients asked for an interesting, and almost contradictory mix of requirements: the façade must be both dynamic and eye-catching, while still blending into the surrounding forest line.
More images and more about the facade after the break.
The studio’s metallic façade covers the concrete structure of the building and creates an array of irregular geometric volumes which cascade across the front. The jagged masses smooth out as they stretch further down the street toward the forested area.
