Ecco Eco

Ecco Eco New York is a redesign and renovation of an existing structure to house the offices of Ecco Eco, an environmental design initiative. Currently in the research and design phase, the building is intended to take advantage of sustainable energy sources while providing an iconic presence to the environmental brand. Combining environmental performance with graphic design, the signature element of the project is an intricate patterned facade comprised of custom parabolic solar panels and landscape elements that produce electricity and improve the urban air quality.

Opacity and Refraction

Building Opacity and Reflection into a Facade

I’m trying to figure out how to generate a combination of simulated and real reflections and at the same time produce surface depth.  This image shows the interior skin of my project as it stands now.  These channels (based on my fat studies) will be chromed and sit behind a curved glass skin, hopefully creating a double mirror effect.
