One example from Glen-Gery’s SK1N Terracotta Facade System offers a modern take on exterior cladding, blending Italian craftsmanship with contemporary architecture. Produced by San Selmo, the high-fired, non-combustible terracotta tiles provide a durable, low-maintenance, and colorfast solution ideal for upscale residential projects.
Another example of multi-generational living is the Singapore Land Authority, which is redeveloping a former primary school into an intergenerational co-living community.
