An aerial view of a multi-volume contemporary building featuring stacked white masses, timber-clad breakout boxes, and accessible roof terraces, providing a precedent for contextual infill architecture.
- What we like about this project
- A prominent timber-clad box projects forward through the white exterior facade to frame a large second-floor terrace.

- Geometry
- An articulated composition of stacked and interlocking white volumes sitting atop a glazed ground level, featuring stepped roof terraces and projecting cantilevered balconies.
- Facade system
- Vertical white metal or timber siding panels combined with curtain wall glazing at the ground floor and punched openings above.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame or reinforced concrete with large cantilever capabilities at the upper levels.
- Spatial scale
- Mid-rise building group, approximately three to four stories high, scaled to pedestrian plazas and surrounding neighborhood.
- Lighting
- Bright midday sun casting clear, sharp shadows across the white volumes and recessed timber elements.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, clean, and open, emphasizing crisp geometric contrasts between white stucco, warm timber, and glass.
- Environmental context
- Urban or resort infill site surrounded by multi-story residential buildings with traditional pitched tile roofs.
- Spatial experience
- The building transitions from a transparent public ground floor up through stepped outdoor terraces, offering layered interior-exterior connections at multiple levels.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical shifting of masses creates a dynamic interplay of solids and voids across the upper levels.
- Style reading
- Contemporary contextual minimalism with articulated volume stacking

- Mixed-use commercial and residential or hospitality
