An aerial precedent of a stepped high-rise complex with a diagrid facade and integrated diagonal lighting, useful for high-density waterfront envelope design.
- What we like about this project
- A sharp diagonal ribbon of light cuts across the massive diagrid facade, visually unifying the stepped massing.

- Geometry
- Massing steps down dramatically on one side forming a grand diagonal profile, with a prominent light strip tracing the stepped edge and a dense diagrid curtain wall system.
- Facade system
- Glass and metal diagrid unitized curtain wall system with integrated linear edge lighting.
- Structural guess
- Steel diagrid exterior frame with reinforced concrete core and floor plates.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale mixed-use complex towering over neighboring roads, mid-rise structures, and the natural landscape.
- Lighting
- Twilight conditions with warm interior lighting glowing through the diagrid facade and a bright continuous LED strip outlining the stepped profile.
- Atmosphere
- Serene dusk atmosphere contrasting the glowing geometric architecture against the darkening cityscape and quiet river.
- Environmental context
- Urban waterfront setting adjacent to a tree-lined river on one side and dense high-rise commercial and residential developments on the other.
- Spatial experience
- The building commands the riverfront edge, acting as a transition between open natural water and the dense urban high-rise backdrop.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating triangular diagrid units create a dynamic mesh across the facade, contrasted by the monumental linear sweep of the stepped roofline.
