In a tranquil neighborhood of Punjab, India, Studio Ardete has completed a residential project with a dynamic sculptural facade. Dubbed the Ribbon House, the structure redefines the architectural language of the region, establishing its own distinctive character.
According to the architects, the project serves as a tribute to the client’s profession in the construction industry, which has encompassed diverse projects of varying scales and proportions and stands as a tangible reminder of his career.
Inspired by the organic contours found in nature, the design of the Ribbon House harmoniously integrates fluid lines that resemble a gently unfurling ribbon, elegantly embracing the entire structure.
Its exterior, crafted mainly from concrete, introduces a dynamic element that adds a sense of movement and vitality to the building’s appearance. This creates a sense of boundless exploration, forging a feeling of enduring continuity.
By breaking down the overall volume of the structure into slender curves, ample natural light permeates the interior, fostering a sense of openness. Additionally, this design choice promotes sufficient air circulation and ventilation. Furthermore, the protruding concrete volumes offer shade for the openings while adding a distinct shape and style to the facade.
