introdution
This project features an elegant repetition of balconies, creating a rhythmic façade that enhances the overall design. The building occupies a prominent corner within the quiet residential area of Swieqi, establishing a refined presence without overwhelming its surroundings.
design philosophy
The design carefully considers the local context, using repetition and proportion to complement the neighbouring buildings while introducing subtle architectural interest. The corner position was treated to emphasise both visibility and elegance.
design philosophy
The project was commissioned with a value of €2,000,000, reflecting a modest yet carefully considered investment in quality design and contextual sensitivity.
Repetition is employed not only as an aesthetic strategy but also as a means to unify the building’s composition. This approach reinforces the structure’s identity while maintaining a restrained, sophisticated expression suited to the residential character of Swieqi.
