AD Workshop

London-based AD Workshop designs civic and cultural environments where earth-integrated green terraces, razor-sharp roof cantilevers, and vertical grazing lights dissolve heavy architectural masses into permeable public landscapes. This portfolio serves as a focused reference when detailing stepped green roof seating over submerged exhibition halls, embedding mature foliage within elevated gallery balconies, or calibrating facade illumination for large-scale public structures.

An early-stage construction site view documenting foundation slab work and structural progression on a broad landscape setting.

What we like about this project
The bright sun aligns directly above the tower crane boom, creating a stark silhouette effect for observers on the slab edge.

Geometry
Expansive horizontal concrete slab under construction, set against an open rolling landscape with a dominant vertical tower crane overhead.
Structural guess
Cast-in-place concrete flat slab with reinforcing steel starter bars.
Spatial scale
Massive site scale dominated by the height of the tower crane and the vast horizontal concrete pour.
Lighting
Bright midday sun directly overhead casting deep shadows from figures and formwork against the raw concrete.
Atmosphere
Exposed, sunny, and expansive working atmosphere under a clear sky.
Environmental context
Open rural or hilltop construction site with distant hills and clear blue sky.
Spatial experience
Wide-open panoramic expanse looking out over a distant horizon from an elevated foundation level.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal expanse of the foundation plate counterbalanced by the vertical thrust of the tower crane.
