FOA created this seemingly irregular hexagonal tiling by simply shifting some of the internal vertices of groups of 8 tiles. By coloring the tiles in various colors, this further breaks up the underlaying regular pattern.

The facade uses a variation of Roger Penrose‘s aperiodic pentagonal tiling (aka “Penrose Tiling“) to produce a differentiated field of openings in the facade.
