Raw Elegance: X-Bond Microcement Defines the Tombo Den Aesthetic
The Tombo Den project by DKO Architecture stands as a striking example of contemporary design, seamlessly blending robust materiality with refined detailing. A key element contributing to its distinctive character is the extensive use of X-Bond Microcement, installed by Bespoke Surfaces Australia, specifically for the building's facade and the interior bathroom spaces.
Embracing Natural Texture: X-Bond Microcement Facade
The exterior of Tombo Den commands attention with its X-Bond Microcement facade in Natural Concrete finish. This choice of material and colour palette perfectly embodies the project's aim for a raw and honest aesthetic.
A Monolithic Statement: The seamless application of X-Bond across the facade creates a monolithic appearance, free from distracting joins and lines. This contributes to the building's strong and unified presence within its urban context.
The Depth of Umber: The Umber colour, within the Natural Concrete finish, introduces warm, earthy tones that add depth and visual interest to the facade. This natural hue complements the surrounding environment while maintaining a sophisticated edge.
Textural Nuances: The Natural Concrete finish of X-Bond inherently offers subtle variations in texture, mimicking the organic beauty of poured concrete. This prevents the facade from appearing flat or artificial, lending it a tactile and engaging quality.
Durability for the Elements: As a facade material, X-Bond Microcement provides excellent durability and resistance to the Australian climate. Its robust nature ensures the longevity of the building's striking exterior.
Sanctuary in Texture: X-Bond Microcement Bathroom Walls in Umber Mineral Finish
Moving indoors, the design language of Tombo Den continues into the bathrooms, where X-Bond Microcement in Mineral Finish has been applied to the walls. This creates intimate and tactile spaces that echo the exterior's raw elegance.
Seamless Wet Areas: The seamless nature of X-Bond is particularly advantageous in bathrooms, eliminating grout lines where mould and grime can accumulate. This contributes to a clean, hygienic, and visually expansive space.
The Tactility of Mineral Finish: The Mineral Finish offers a distinct, textured surface that engages the senses, this creates bathroom walls with a rich, earthy feel, adding depth and character to what are often purely functional spaces.
A Harmonious Palette: The consistent use of the Umber colour across both the facade and the bathroom walls creates a cohesive design narrative throughout the Tombo Den project.
Durability and Water Resistance: X-Bond Microcement, when properly sealed provides a highly water-resistant surface ideal for the demands of a bathroom environment.
A Testament to Materiality and Craftsmanship:
The Tombo Den project by DKO Architecture beautifully showcases the versatility and aesthetic impact of X-Bond Microcement. The considered application of the Natural Concrete finish for the facade and the Mineral Finish for the bathroom walls demonstrates how this material, combined with skilled installation, can contribute to a cohesive and compelling architectural vision, blending raw elegance with modern sophistication.
