C.E.S. Office – Martinez House: Ornamental concrete layers on the exterior wall envelope

Ornamental concrete layers, both vertical and horizontal, painted white, in contrast to the blue of the wall large surfaces. The vertical concrete layers were incorporated in the formwork of columns and shear walls, while the horizontal concrete layers were shot in gunite together with the walls, using a jigsaw-cut piece of plywood as a form. Corners of the horizontal and vertical layers were marked and strengthened by shaped curves, so that the corners became beautiful centers.
