An aerial site precedent showing twin high-rise residential towers and a landscaped podium base within a dense urban context.
- What we like about this project
- Linear light-and-dark paving stripes on the ground plane extend geometrically to mirror the tower facade grid above.

- Geometry
- Twin high-rise towers sit atop a multi-story podium, connected by a lower base volume enclosing a landscaped central courtyard with linear paving patterns.
- Facade system
- Precast or panelized facade with vertical contrasting bands of dark glazing and white opaque piers.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete core and slab construction with perimeter columns and shear walls.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale urban residential complex with multi-story podium and high-rise towers of approximately 15 to 25 stories.
- Lighting
- Diffused daylight under an overcast sky, casting soft shadows across the building facades and ground plane.
- Atmosphere
- Ordered and monolithic in the dense urban setting, softened by the geometric courtyard paving below.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban fabric of Shanghai with surrounding older mid-rise and high-rise residential blocks.
- Spatial experience
- The composition creates a dense urban block that opens internally into a structured courtyard sequence between towers.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical window bands on the towers alternate with solid white piers, establishing a strong vertical rhythm that transitions to a rectilinear grid at the podium.
