Origami Building

Origami Building

Office · by Manuelle Gautrand · 2011

Paris, France

The facade is treated like folded paper: screen-printed glass creates the illusion of crisp creases and 'marble' pages turning across the elevation. A double-skin strategy helps control glare and heat while keeping the building visually light at a prestigious boulevard scale. Rather than starting from scratch, the project reinterprets an existing volume through a new envelope, proving how a skin can completely reset a building’s character. Up close, the patterning reads as graphic craft; from afar, the whole mass becomes a sharp, crystalline object.
