This Cadence Indian Architecture residence is located in Bangalore, India and features cast concrete external walls augmented with perforations.
Known as 'Out of the Box,' this building was designed to block views of neighboring buildings from the inside.
Along with residences, 'Outside the Box' also features a beautiful courtyard.
Implications - The feminization of architecture is becoming more prevalent in society. While aggressive, geometric architecture still has its place in our urban jungles, softer architectural designs with lighter colorations and dainty details may be on the rise. With this feminine design, building features such as courtyards, gardens and fountains will also become more prevalent. With women breadwinners on the rise, companies should begin to start realigning their focus for specific products to capitalize on this coming shift.
