上海
An aerial site precedent showing a large-scale coastal hospitality master plan that combines twin curved high-rise towers with decentralized hillside and beachfront villas.
- What we like about this project
- An elliptical free-standing pavilion acts as a focal node between the high-rise towers and the beachfront.

- Geometry
- Complex master plan featuring dual high-rise towers with curved floor plates, an elliptical pavilion, and an extensive cluster of stepped hillside villas cascading toward artificial lagoons and the coastline.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with horizontal banding across the high-rise towers.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame structures for towers and villas.
- Spatial scale
- Massive resort master plan featuring multi-story residential towers alongside dozens of individual low-rise villas.
- Lighting
- Bright midday tropical sunlight casting sharp reflections off glass facades and clear shadows across roofs and terrain.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, luxurious, and expansive coastal resort atmosphere.
- Environmental context
- Coastal peninsula surrounded by sea, backed by green hilly terrain and bounded by sandy beaches.
- Spatial experience
- The site transitions vertically and horizontally from dense high-rise urban density at the headland down to dispersed, low-slung resort living along the turquoise water's edge.
- Composition rhythm
- Dynamic vertical rhythm in the twin towers offset by the organic, decentralized clustering of hillside villas.
- Style reading
- Contemporary resort architecture with curvilinear high-rise massing
