Wallflower Architecture + Design The arrival experience is orchestrated by several layers of travertine wall that suggest a tenuous threshold between the outside and the inside. The detailing is deliberately minimal and precise to enhance the simplicity of the massing and the juxtaposition of solidity and transparency.

The three dimensional composition of voids, layers and solids creates spaces interaction, something for each mood and moment.
