Softstone / SETUP Architecture Studio

Posted in Architecture - Office Buildings by * FORMAKERS

Softstone is a mid-rise building located in the city center of a developing metropolitan area.

Urban densification and land-use changes are resulting in proximities of existing low-rise residential blocks with mid to high-rise offices or commercials.

Within this context, Softstone introduces an alternative architectural solution for a mid-rise office project built with local stone.

The monolithic volume is constructed of pre-crafted slabs of varying sizes that are supported with pre-fabricated folded metal plates, which then together are dry-assembled on-site.

Soft transitions from small to large components create curved surfaces out of the hard stone.

The focal points of these gradients define the entrances and openings, morph the building skin, adjust the skyline, and connect the backyard landscape to the staircase all the way to the rooftop.
