An exterior precedent for integrating heavy concrete structural cantilevers with expansive glass storefronts and adjacent natural landscaping.
- What we like about this project
- Bright red tubular door frames punctuate the neutral expanse of the glass facade.

- Geometry
- A heavy, monolithic concrete beam and cantilevered slab hover over a multi-bay glass curtain wall with fine steel mullions.
- Facade system
- Full-height glazed curtain wall with slim steel profiles and operable red-framed doors beneath a board-formed concrete transfer slab.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete transfer beam and cantilever supporting upper levels over a glazed ground floor.
- Spatial scale
- Double-height ground floor volume beneath a substantial overhead concrete superstructure.
- Lighting
- Bright ambient daylight reflecting off exterior paving and washing into the interior, contrasted by deep shadows under the concrete cantilever.
- Atmosphere
- A striking contrast between raw, heavy concrete massing and light, open, green-framed transparency.
- Environmental context
- Urban park or landscaped precinct setting with mature trees and dense shrubbery framing the paved walkway.
- Spatial experience
- The transition from lush, shaded outdoor planting moves directly into a brightly lit, double-height retail/exhibition volume behind transparent glazing.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical glass mullions match a regular structural bay rhythm, punctuated by bright red door frames.
