Soleil 88 Phnom Penh Residential

Architecture, Building and Structure Design Soleil 88 Phnom Penh Residential by cocoon architecture ltd. Soleil 88 Phnom Penh is a residential development of 88 row houses in Cambodia. Row houses are common in Phnom Penh, where large groups of similar units are hard to tell apart. The project keeps the existing structure and reworks a facade zone of 1.5 metres. Staggered balconies are recessed at different levels, creating buffer zones between neighbouring houses. The mix of solid and void allows light and shadow to change across the elevation. Each house becomes distinguishable, connected to the others yet separate.
