Excerpt: Sense 100 Building, an innovative housing project by Sandra Micaela Casinha Architects, dances through long waves, different on each floor. Featuring an organic design, the panels projected onto the façade create dynamism, movement, and moments. The waves create generous balconies with panels that provide light-filled living rooms as well as protection from the sun and privacy.

There are 20 apartments, two fronts, with generous balconies, which are intended to be living areas. It’s the “waves” that create the balconies. And they relate to the light-filled living rooms.

In each apartment the users are greeted by a curve. It leads them to different areas. It ends in the living room, and here one’s gaze lands on the organicist balcony with its screen panels. These panels will provide emotion, protection from the sun and privacy.
