Adamson Associates

Based in Toronto, Vancouver, and New York, Adamson Associates designs commercial office towers and public pavilions characterized by sculpted high-rise envelopes, subtractive corner notches, and timber canopy structures that extend into folded interior ceilings. This collection serves as a precise reference when resolving massing variations along tall building facades or aligning exterior podium terraces with internal ceiling geometries.

Aerial rendering of the Oakridge Park master plan by Adamson Associates featuring curved high-rise towers set within a lush green landscape.

Oakridge Park

An aerial master plan precedent illustrating how multiple curved high-rise towers can integrate seamlessly with extensive parklands and podium gardens in a dense urban setting.

What we like about this project
Continuous landscaped roof terraces weave across the interconnected podiums, bridging separate tower footprints.

Geometry
An organic cluster of slender, curved, and undulating high-rise towers rises from an integrated podium system embedded within an extensive green parkland network.
Facade system
Curtain wall glazing combined with sweeping balconies and articulated vertical fins.
Structural guess
Concrete core and flat slab construction with perimeter column grids accommodating complex curved profiles.
Spatial scale
Macro urban scale showing multiple high-rise residential towers ranging between twenty and forty stories.
Lighting
Bright late-afternoon sunlight casts long shadows across the towers and landscape, highlighting the curved facade contours against the distant mountain backdrop.
Atmosphere
Optimistic, expansive, and green-focused urban resort feeling.
Environmental context
Suburban and low-rise urban context surrounding a densely treed park site, with a major city skyline and snow-capped mountains in the distant background.
Spatial experience
The composition creates a dense urban node that balances high-rise living with continuous, sprawling ground-level green spaces and pedestrian pathways.
Composition rhythm
Dynamic cluster of organic tower forms varying in height and orientation, anchored by continuous green podiums.
Style reading
Contemporary master-planned high-rise complex
