An aerial precedent for stacked, interlocking residential blocks that break down monolithic density through porous massing and shared sky gardens.
- What we like about this project
- Massive residential volumes appear to float above swimming pools via heavy cylindrical structural supports.

- podium-landscape
- Geometry
- Hexagonal arrangement of stacked horizontal residential blocks creating a porous, three-dimensional matrix with large interstitial void spaces and sky terraces.
- Facade system
- Precast concrete panels with continuous horizontal ribbon windows and recessed balconies.
- Structural guess
- Post-tensioned concrete flat slabs with transfer structures supporting the cantilevered and stacked hexagonal blocks.
- Spatial scale
- Massive multi-block residential mega-structure containing multiple stacked stories per interlocking volume.
- Lighting
- Soft overcast daylight casting gentle shadows across multiple intersecting volumetric planes and swimming pools.
- Atmosphere
- Expansive, communal, and tropical, balancing massive scale with garden-level intimacy.
- Environmental context
- Tropical urban residential masterplan integrated with dense surrounding greenery, pools, and recreational courtyards.
- Spatial experience
- The composition creates a dense yet highly interconnected landscape where elevated blocks form vast covered public realms, courtyards, and communal gardens below.
- Composition rhythm
- Hexagonal rotational symmetry with stacked horizontal balconies establishing a repeating layered banding rhythm.
