Overview
This board frames a mixed-use building in Desert Modern terms. Desert Modern answers heat with mass and shadow — robust sand-mineral planes, deep-set openings, and dark metal accents used sparingly for articulation. Architectural concrete treats structure as finish. Board-marked or smooth, it carries the facade with mass and a mineral evenness that darkens slightly in rain and lightens in sun — a material that records the weather honestly.
