The design process began by fragmenting the arch, moving away from its role as a continuous structural element. Instead, the arch was treated as a modular, compositional tool, its disassembly introducing seams that organized both the geometry and the construction logic of the façade.

Vertical metallic frames acted as strategic seams, cutting across the masonry and reinforcing the tension between traditional and contemporary materials. These seams structured the façade’s spatial rhythm, while the arch functioned as a bridging mechanism, connecting vertical geometries and creating moments of visual convergence. Through careful modulation, surfaces were designed to emerge or recess along these seams, forming a dynamic, textured façade that feels both deliberate and in transformation.
