KST House

The KST Façade panels, integral to the design of the KST House by our team. Crafted from an unconventional HDPE material typically found in marine design, these panels exhibit a unique visual transformation based on their exposure to light and direct sunlight, ranging from a high reflective metal appearance to a subdued matte paint finish.

Inspired by the clients' cultural roots, the geometry of the panels incorporates three distinct patterns derived from traditional rugs from their native region. These patterns were thoughtfully reimagined, introducing additional line work to address pattern adjacencies and create a fresh composition. The resulting geometries were translated into perforations and meticulously cut using advanced digital fabrication tools, culminating in the innovative and culturally infused design of the KST Façade panels.
