skin tight

3D plastic skin stretched across the facade of Second Home, a flexible office space on Mare Street in Hackney.

 

The building beneath actually dates back to the 19th century: it was renovated and remodelled in 2019 to a design by architects Cano Lasso. The decorative skin (made of ETFE) was a cost-effective way of totally changing its outward appearance without requiring significant structural alteration to the existing exterior.
