Squire and Partners looked at the surrounding neighborhood for inspiration when they were designing a unique creative facade for this home in London, England. Ivy leaves and shingles were two things their attention became focused on.
Here’s a look at the process they went through to create the final leafy facade. The concept was designed over a three-year period, where the designers worked closely with Swiss manufacturer Tuchschmid.
The leaves were crafted as a metal shingle.

4080 folded aluminum leaves were crafted to cover the facade, and varying tones of bronze mimic organic growth patterns.
