DAAA Haus, the internationally acclaimed design studio, has unveiled its latest project, Park Heights, located at the bustling intersection of the University Campus and Malta’s renowned Regional Road. This urban hotspot is acclaimed for its vibrant skating park, attracting young enthusiasts who gather there after university hours. Drawing inspiration from the lively atmosphere reminiscent of Berlin, and the studio’s affinity for the iconic Bauhaus era, DAAA Haus has crafted an architectural masterpiece that celebrates both the spirit of the location and this design heritage.
The exterior architecture of the corner building immediately catches the eye. Adorned with striking black and white stripes, the structure creates a visual illusion, appearing larger than its actual size. This optical playfulness pays homage to the Bauhaus movement while establishing the building as an iconic landmark within the area. The white precast panels that form the facade are suspended on a cantilevered terrace, adding an element of modernity and a sense of lightness to the structure.
