High-angle aerial view of a futuristic curvaceous skyscraper with
An aerial precedent for biophilic high-rise design, showcasing curvaceous massing, carved sky gardens, and an expressive structural exoskeleton.
- What we like about this project
- Large voids are carved directly into the upper tower volumes to accommodate lushly planted outdoor dining terraces.

- Geometry
- Complex organic curves with an exoskeletal diagrid frame wrapping around multiple stepped volumes and open-air rooftop terraces.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall combined with patterned panelized cladding and exoskeleton structural ribs.
- Structural guess
- Steel exoskeleton diagrid combined with a central concrete core and floor slabs.
- Spatial scale
- Super-tall skyscraper scale; rooftop terraces show tiny tables and human figures for scale.
- Lighting
- Twilight conditions with warm interior lighting glowing through ribbon windows and illuminating outdoor dining terraces.
- Atmosphere
- Dynamic, vibrant twilight mood blending warm human activity with monumental architectural scale.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban environment surrounded by neighboring high-rise commercial structures and dense street trees.
- Spatial experience
- Dizzying high-rise perspective revealing interconnected outdoor public platforms carved deep into the building mass.
- Composition rhythm
- Sweeping diagonal curves and alternating bands of glass ribbon windows against textured facade cladding.
