This facade features unique balcony designs that resemble window openings to obscure the visibility of domestic activities enhancing privacy. To create a warm exterior appearance, wood grain paint is applied on balcony surfaces. This method involves layering colors and scraping them with a wood grain brush, producing a handmade, paneled look on the concrete. The design continues on the communal hallways, maintaining aesthetic consistency. The building’s sides and entrance are also thoughtfully designed with green landscaping, creating a space for relaxation for the local residents.
