Coin Matrix
Facade.

A facade exploration for Elevate Hotels and Banquets, developed through a series of iterations around one defining gesture: a vertically scaled bronze coin-matrix screen that becomes the building’s illuminated identity.

Study

Multiple facade iterations

01 / Facade Intent

A vertical screen
that turns the facade
into an identity.

The design language is organised around the contrast between a calm stone-framed window volume and a taller, darker vertical bay carrying the bronze coin-matrix expression.

Rather than treating the screen as surface decoration, the iterations explore how much of the stair volume should remain visible, how the bronze field meets the ground, and how the entry, signage and illuminated screen read together as one composition.

02 / Iteration Study

Testing transparency,
depth and proportion.

One facade.
Three layers.

01

The bronze matrix creates the strongest vertical identity and becomes especially legible when illuminated at dusk.

02

The glazed stair bay introduces depth and movement behind or beside the screen, depending on the iteration.

03

The stone window volume provides a quieter repetitive rhythm that balances the more expressive screen.

04

The ground-level portal resolves signage, planting, lighting and arrival into a more deliberate hospitality entrance.

04 / After Dark

The screen becomes
the building’s glow.
