In today’s evolving architectural landscape, the demand for durable materials that also offer aesthetic flexibility is higher than ever. Graphic concrete is meeting this demand head-on, transforming ordinary precast surfaces into visually striking elements that enrich residential environments. In this edition, we spotlight how graphic concrete has been used to bring efficiency, texture, and storytelling to residential buildings — turning facades into art while maintaining the strength and sustainability of concrete.

Delfiinikortteli Sitadelli Residential Building in Helsinki's Vuosaari district showcases the innovative application of Graphic Concrete in modern urban housing. The repeating pattern designed by Samuli Naamanka, the building's facade features gold-stained precast concrete elements, enhancing the area's architectural identity through the fusion of durability and aesthetic appeal.

The building features a dark-toned facade adorned with a custom-designed repeating pattern as musical instruments, adding a unique visual texture and enjoyment in residential construction.

Kajen 4 is a 24-story residential tower located in Stockholm's Liljeholmskajen district. The building features a dark-toned facade imparted with a simple but aesthetic repeating pattern, adding a unique visual texture to the concrete surface.

The fresco in Graphic Concrete on the building’s facade features the characteristic symbols of Marseille throughout its 2600 years of history, from the arrival of the Greeks to today. Because of its long and significant past, especially in terms of European culture, planning a remarkable building in the heart of Marseille was both a challenge and an opportunity.

The closer you come, the more you see. This very beautiful grass-like design will surprise you with its astonishing detailing.

Niittysillankulma residential building is a good example to show the surface that can make the building interesting. The ultimate contrast of black and white colour as well as geometric patterns make it even more attractive.

Enjoyable patterns make living environment more unique and enjoyable.
