A student apartment block defined by a perforated façade that turns privacy into light. By day it reads as a calm protective wall; by night it becomes a glowing urban lantern.

The Lantern Veil is shaped around a simple but powerful architectural gesture: a solid side façade softened by a field of small openings, allowing light to pass through like a quiet rhythm. Designed for student living, the building balances privacy, safety, and atmosphere without feeling closed or heavy. The perforated screen gives the project its identity, filtering views and creating a warm glow after sunset, while the slimmer residential balconies unfold discreetly along the side. It is a building that understands its role in the city — protective, efficient, and composed — yet still offers a sense of warmth, presence, and belonging.
