Chengdu Creative Residential Buildings in China, have become known online for their playful, dollhouse-like design. The complex features a series of colorful, toy-like structures with an architectural style that’s both creative & imaginative. The buildings’ design is inspired by fairy tales & children’s stories, with features such as twisted spires, oversized windows, & vibrant hues.
Ting1 is a residential building in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, designed by Gert Wingårdh & were ready for occupancy in 2013.
The facades of the lower ten floors are clad with glazed ceramics & the top floor in painted sheet metal. Facades, roofs & undersides of balconies are all colored in eight shades of red, yellow & green.
The ceramic tiles are consistently 60 x 60 in size, which has partly determined the placement of windows & balconies. 78 glazed balconies protrude from the four facades of the square building, to the 51 residential apartments.
