CERAMIC HOUSE

A facade inspired by knitwear

Through a creative interplay of 3D printed ceramic tiles and imaginative design, Studio RAP fused tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from knitwear and the city’s rich ceramic heritage. The building’s facade is made up of 225 unique tiles – 3D printed ceramic tiles that mimic the appearance of rippling textiles. Fired at high temperatures to ensure durability and weather resistance, the tiles were produced using a clay 3D printing process, with each tile taking approximately two hours to print. The wavy, textile-like texture of the tiles was achieved by precisely controlling the layering during the printing process, creating a three-dimensional effect that enhances the visual depth of the façade and integrates seamlessly with traditional construction methods.
