An exterior perspective of a tall urban infill tower utilizing angled cassette panels and rotated window modules to create rich shadow play and tactile depth along a vertical street wall.
- What we like about this project
- The glazed units twist within their surrounds, transforming a flat grid into a deeply faceted surface.

- contemporary
- Geometry
- Upward perspective shot emphasizing verticality, flanked by adjacent mid-rise context buildings. The facade features a repeating grid of rotated modular panels inset with angled glazing.
- Facade system
- Prefabricated cassette panel system with angled recessed glazing pockets.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete core and frame structure supporting unitized exterior cladding panels.
- Spatial scale
- High-rise infill tower viewed from street level looking steeply upward, establishing a dramatic sense of vertical scale.
- Lighting
- Bright sun positioned near the upper left creates strong highlights on the projecting cassette edges and deep shadow angles within the recessed window frames.
- Atmosphere
- Crisp and monumental, characterized by strong geometric articulation against a bright sky.
- Environmental context
- Tight urban infill context with older neighboring masonry buildings flanking the taller central tower.
- Spatial experience
- From the pedestrian or street level, the facade geometry creates a dynamic diagonal rhythm overhead, softening the typical flatness of high-rise infill walls.
- Composition rhythm
- A dense vertical grid interrupted by diagonal cassette rotations that establish an alternating faceted cadence.
