Studio RAP claims that The Ceramic House transforms the language of architecture by effectively blending tradition and innovation, reintroducing unique details into the architectural landscape. The studio employs an inventive approach to contemporary architectural design, using advanced digital fabrication processes developed in its manufacturing facility to create customized 3D-printed ceramic tiles. This infusion enhances the historic architecture of the renowned shopping street with a fresh design aesthetic. The outcome, achieved through algorithmic design, 3D-printed ceramics, and expert glazing, is both captivating and tactile, drawing inspiration from the craftsmanship of knitting garments.
