Custom Residence
Demo projectCasa Bruta
A board-formed concrete house built around a jacaranda that predates the plot.
Demo project — sample content created by Scope to show how the platform works. It does not represent a real Scope client project.
Main concept
Everything is concrete, and everything is soft. The formwork boards were reused from the site hoarding, so the grain repeats across the elevations. Inside, a single skylight slot tracks across the double-height wall through the day and does most of the decorating.
