There are many ways to design and produce a creative facade — using iridescent tiles, experimental materials, sculptural influences are a few examples that come to mind. Local architecture firm Anonym, however, does not only think but completely steps out of the box with its work on the Flower Cage House in Bangkok.
Anonym was commissioned to complete an extension. The creative facade features a "robust but visually lightweight" grid. The architectural firm takes advantage of this and infuses the dwelling with a potent natural emphasis. In each of the steel boxes, Anonym places an olive tree. A total of 102, the vegetation presents a nature-infused component and a visually unified composition.
