An exterior precedent showing how a multi-tiered building integrates into a heavily wooded slope using textured masonry and a striking curved structural canopy.
- What we like about this project
- A dramatic curving black canopy ring with integrated lighting slices through the foreground trees.

- mixed-material
- Geometry
- Multi-tiered volumetric massing nestled into a steep slope, featuring a prominent curved cantilevered canopy and recessed balconies.
- Facade system
- Textured plaster and exposed masonry walls with punched windows and recessed balconies.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with masonry infill and steel canopy framing.
- Spatial scale
- Mid-scale multi-level building framed by human-scaled balconies and retaining walls.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight filtering through lush tree canopy, with warm integrated strip lighting glowing under the curved armature.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and shaded, balancing raw structural elements with the soft enclosure of surrounding foliage.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban woodland or lush hillside garden setting with mature trees surrounding the building.
- Spatial experience
- Approached through dense vegetation, the architecture unfolds via terraced levels, framing views through openings and beneath curved overhangs.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal curving light strips and balcony lines contrasting against the vertical trunks of mature trees.
