University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, NC

The University of North Carolina School of the Arts welcomes its latest addition, The Artist Village, a striking residence hall in Winston-Salem, NC.

Designed in collaboration with LS3P and Ayers Saint Gross, the building boasts a striking exterior clad in Swisspearl Patina fiber cement panels.

Connecting two five-story wings via a bridge, this project harmonizes the university's vision of community, occupant well-being, and sustainable building systems.

The design team effectively leveraged the gentle, earthy grey hues of the Patina Original panels to deliver a visually captivating and unified facade, full of visual interest and able to 'patina' and evolve over time.
