The wooden cladding extends to the top of the building and works with the window openings to create a new composition. Occasionally, the window frames break through the wooden cladding, interrupting the rhythm of the wooden facade. -- ArchDaily

Blairgowrie House, Blairgowrie, Australia, 2012 designed by Wolveridge Architects
The block type form established from bringing the front of the dwelling forward and its western orientation influenced a design decision to create a complex series of openings in the façade,allowing forplenty of natural light to the children’s bedrooms within. The composition of openings is designed to restrict the inflow of undesirable west sun and provides a suitable level of visual engagement with the street. -- ArchDaily

Boucicaut, 81 Rue des Cévennes, Paris, France, 2013 designed by MG-AU
.... in order to satisfy the architect/urban planner’s desire to differentiate the facades according to the direction they face, the surface of the walls is smoother, darker and glossy on walls facing north-east and north-west, and rough, light and matt on walls facing south-east and south-west, which are turned towards the sun. The position of the window in its thick frame, together with the presence and position of the sun-shading shutters also make it possible to differentiate thefacades. -- ArchDaily

An array of Terra cotta red “boxes” penetrate the tower’s skin at strategic points thus more unique office spaces are created. the boxes characterizes the building externally and frame important urban views internally. The result is a bold and well defined vertical building, a monolithic overall look with almost all of the floors unidentical in plan. -- ArchDaily

Canopia Park Housing, Mail Haroun Tazieff, 44300 Nantes, France, 2014 designed by BABIN+RENAUD
Shutters, balustrade and floors are as meticulously designed as the buildings’ architecture. Sparkling white, the innumerable vertical picture-windows, framed in shiny metal, jut out from the buildings’ minimalist surfaces. Opalescent glass, stainless-steel façades and sand-blasted concrete round out the project’s visual and tactile pallet, the distinctiveness of which is as restrained as it is refined. -- ArchDaily
