The pergola on this modern contemporary building is a sleek and functional design element, featuring MS (mild steel) fabrication combined with a transparent GI sheet, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese roofs. The MS framework consists of clean, linear beams arranged in a rhythmic pattern, reminiscent of the structured wooden rafters seen in Japanese architecture. The transparent GI sheet provides a lightweight yet durable covering, allowing filtered natural light to pass through while offering protection from the elements. This design echoes the Japanese philosophy of balancing light and shadow, creating a subtle interplay between openness and shelter


Vertical fins and perforated panels add both aesthetic appeal and practical ventilation, making the design well-suited for an urban tropical setting. The use of expansive windows maximizes natural light, while the rooftop and balcony spaces emphasize a connection to the outdoors.


The parapet wall of this modern contemporary building features a rectangular opening that enhances both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the balcony space. This design choice creates a sense of openness while maintaining privacy, offering framed views of the surroundings. The clean, geometric cutout introduces a dynamic contrast against the otherwise solid structure, adding depth and visual interest to the façade. Inspired by minimalist and Japanese architectural principles, this rectangular opening also allows natural light and airflow to interact with the space, creating a play of light and shadow throughout the day. The sleek, well-proportioned design of the parapet not only complements the overall modern urban aesthetic but also softens the rigidity of the structure, making the balcony feel more integrated and inviting. The dark MS structure contrasts elegantly with the bright exterior, adding depth and sophistication to the façade while maintaining an airy, modern feel.​
