Overview

This board frames a government building in Mediterranean terms. Mediterranean facades rely on mass and shade — thick-feeling walls, controlled openings, and sun-loving mineral surfaces that read natural under harsh light. Dark basalt cladding grounds the building with a dense, volcanic-dark surface that barely changes with the weather. It works as the heavy base of the composition, contrasting sharply with pale surroundings and keeping its tone for decades.
