  • From wartime scars to vibrant city life in Rotterdam’s heart

    OurDomain Rotterdam stands on historic ground deeply scarred by the 1940 bombings that leveled the city’s heart. Tangram Architects transformed this once-vacant site into a 70-meter tower housing over 600 apartments. Its aluminum facade, etched with patterns evoking wartime rubble, honors Rotterdam’s resilience and post-war reconstruction.

    At night, it becomes a beacon of light, symbolizing hope and renewal, blending history with modern urban living.

They are a collective of architects, designers, engineers and dreamers. All inspired by the possibilities of double anodizing.

    About

    A delicate fusion of nature and craftsmanship, Flower brings a sense of organic elegance to architectural design. The etched floral-inspired textures create a soft yet dynamic play of light and shadow, offering a refined and sophisticated aesthetic. Perfect for projects that demand timeless beauty with a natural touch.

    About

    Inspired by the intricate patterns of ice and frost, Frozen adds a unique crystalline texture to anodized aluminum. The interplay of light on its surface evokes a sense of cool minimalism, making it ideal for sleek, modern facades that demand a bold yet subtle statement.

    About

    The Gradient pattern creates a smooth visual transition between two fixed anodized colours. Rather than blending or changing the colour tones, the density of the two pixel colours gradually shifts across the surface. This controlled distribution creates the illusion of a flowing gradient while each individual pixel retains its original colour.

    About

    Two shades, pixel by pixel. This intricate technique creates a surface that shifts in perception depending on light and angle, offering a striking depth and visual rhythm. Ideal for contemporary facades, Haze delivers an ever-changing aesthetic that enhances architectural storytelling with movement and complexity.

    About

    Merging the raw appeal of oxidized metal with the durability of anodization, Rust delivers a warm, time-worn effect without compromising quality. The rich tones and natural patina aesthetic make it a striking choice for bold architectural statements.

    About

    A tribute to the strength and beauty of natural rock formations, Stone captures the rugged textures and deep contrasts found in nature. This pattern offers a powerful and grounding visual impact, blending industrial robustness with artistic expression.

    About

    With a subtle interplay of light and texture, Zinc brings an understated metallic depth to anodized surfaces. Inspired by the natural aging of zinc, this pattern creates a sleek yet weathered appearance, offering a contemporary look with a refined edge.

    About

    UNStudio’s design for the TBC complex in Tbilisi, Georgia, is based on the theme of togetherness and connections. This overarching theme is activated through Social Nodes, Nature and Technology. In the design for the panel, hexagons are split by triangular stars that reconnect at different angles and with different thicknesses, creating a new appearance. At the same time they are part of the same pattern, which echoes the concept for the project’s narrative: Diversity + Connection.

    About

    OurDomain, a 70-meter-high tower for 620 appartments in Rotterdam, stands on historic ground where German bombs destroyed the city center on May 14, 1940. Designed for students and young professionals, the building marks this significant location with a unique façade of etched aluminum. A previously undiscovered photo of the bombed site the day after was used, pixelated, cut up and enlarged. This abstract treatment aesthetically conveys the destruction, subtly yet powerfully keeping the memory of the past alive.
