The Creative Use Of Balcony Railings Gives This Building Some Unique Character

Architecture firm Studio Ardete has recently completed a concrete commercial building in Punjab, India, that showcases a uniquely designed facade.

The multi-story building has a series of curvilinear sections which have been designed to look like melted concrete.

A second layer of frames, created as metal silhouettes, adds another layer to the building.

The layer of the white curved accents complements the concrete shapes and acts as a balcony railing.

Studio Ardete also used this facade design to create an illusion, allowing the building to appear taller than it actually is.
