Nevins Landing
A design precedent rendering by Fogarty Finger showing stepped, rounded masonry towers integrated with a waterfront public landscape, useful for urban residential massing studies.
- What we like about this project
- The smooth, continuous radius wrapping the tower corners softens the massive scale of the high-rise blocks.

- Geometry
- Stepped massing composed of several multi-story towers with softly rounded corners and continuous arched window bays, rising from a robust podium base.
- Facade system
- Precast or masonry rainscreen with punched arched openings and continuous curved corner glazing.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame construction with shear walls supporting stepped floor plates.
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-tower urban development scaling down to pedestrian walkways and green spaces along the water's edge.
- Lighting
- Soft, overcast daylight with diffuse shadows, highlighting the pink masonry and rounded corner geometries.
- Atmosphere
- Serene yet bustling urban waterfront atmosphere framed by warm-toned architecture.
- Environmental context
- Urban waterfront setting featuring a canal, pedestrian bridges, planted pathways, and surrounding mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- The composition creates a terraced skyline that frames a linear waterfront park and public promenade at the tower base.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal arched window bands stacked across curved floorplates creating a rhythmic, fluid verticality.
- Style reading
- Contemporary soft-edge urbanism
