Rotterdam-based design imprint Studio RAP creates a special facade in Amsterdam dubbed the Ceramic House. The project highlights the unique blend of tradition and innovation as it highlights a progressive technology to construct the component. Using 3D-printed ceramic tech, it depends on custom algorithms and 3D-printed ceramic tiles to create the boutique facade for a captivating textural look.
The structure blends in perfectly with the historic background in a contemporary way. The team optimizes digital fabrication processes and creates each ceramic tile in its shop. The inspiration stems from the look of knitting clothing and it features interloping yarn, stitching patterns, and deep creases -- all of which evolve and overlap in front of one another.
