ADS74

Rotterdam-based practice ADS74 defines its multi-family and mixed-use high-rise portfolio through geometric volumetric manipulation, contrasting vertical glazed bays against dense building masses while stepping residential bars to form integrated open-air courtyards. This work provides a strong reference when carving upper-level sky courts into tower crowns or staggering structural volumes to yield private rooftop terracing in urban infill projects.

High-angle aerial view of ADS74's triangular high-rise tower with patterned punched facades and a landscaped rooftop terrace.

Featured-Projects-03

An aerial rendering by ADS74 showing a triangular high-rise tower featuring a rhythmic punched window facade and a complex stepped roofscape within a dense urban context.

What we like about this project
The roof level features a triangular cutout system creating internal open-air courtyards at the crown of the tower.

Geometry
Triangular floor plate with rounded corners rising vertically, featuring a recessed landscaped roof terrace with structural cutouts.
Facade system
Heavy punched window wall system with regular vertical bays and rounded corner conditions.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete core and perimeter frame with floor slabs spanning the triangular plan.
Spatial scale
High-rise tower dominating a medium-density urban context, roughly twenty to thirty stories tall.
Lighting
Direct sunlight from the right casting long diagonal shadows across the surrounding streets and lower roofs.
Atmosphere
Bright, sunlit urban panorama emphasizing the tower's sculptural geometry and scale above the city.
Environmental context
Dense urban neighborhood with lower-scale residential buildings and winding street networks surrounding the tower site.
Spatial experience
The tower dominates the surrounding low-to-mid-rise urban fabric, acting as a prominent landmark with a multi-level terraced crown.
Composition rhythm
Vertical repetition of punched window openings across the elevations, capped by a geometric roof trellis.
