Project 664
A large-scale mixed-use complex precedent featuring curved glass towers, connecting skybridges, and stepped podium gardens that activate the public realm.
- What we like about this project
- A glazed skylight canopy spans a sunken courtyard directly interfacing with the primary pedestrian avenue.

- Geometry
- Curvilinear glass towers anchor the corners, connected by multi-level glazed skybridges and stepping back over terraced podium levels.
- Facade system
- Unitized curved structural glass curtain wall with integrated vertical fins and spandrel panels.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with composite concrete decks and heavy perimeter columns supporting large cantilevers.
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-block commercial development spanning multiple high-rise stories and expansive podium levels.
- Lighting
- Warm golden hour light raking across the towers from the right, casting soft long shadows and creating internal glow in the glazed volumes.
- Atmosphere
- Dynamic, luminous, and bustling urban center with warm twilight reflections.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban street frontage with adjacent tree-lined avenues and mid-rise urban fabric.
- Spatial experience
- The complex creates a porous urban enclave with dynamic pedestrian flows weaving through multi-level plazas and skybridge connections.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical glazed fins alternate with structural mullions, echoing the sweeping curves of the tower footprints.
