BRINGING THE OUTDOORS IN
As its name suggests, the structure of the buildings takes the shape of Japanese stackable lunch box. The pyramidal arrangement of each layer ensures an abundance of natural light indoors. This stacking also creates open space on each floor, opening up the residential building to its neighbourhood. The facade made up of reinforced concrete and different shades of grey galvanized sheet harmoniously blend into the sky.
