HBA Architecture

Operating across Shanghai, Singapore, and Vietnam, HBA Architecture shapes luxury residential towers and coastal resort master plans through expressive vertical massing, undulating rooflines, and precise linear light integrated directly into facade grids and water-framed landscapes. The portfolio provides a strong reference when specifying twilight facade lighting, coordinating ground-plane paving geometry with high-rise exterior grids, or positioning sculptural pavilion nodes along coastal thresholds.

Exterior rendering of a waterfront mixed-use high-rise complex with curved glass towers in Vietnam by HBA Architecture.

An aerial rendering precedent of a waterfront mixed-use tower complex, useful for studying organic high-rise massing and riverfront integration.

What we like about this project
The central tower features an inverted concave curve that catches direct sunlight while casting dramatic reflections.

Geometry
Multiple high-rise towers featuring curved, organic curtain wall geometries and tapered crown profiles rising above a landscaped podium.
Facade system
Curved structural glass curtain wall with vertical metallic fins.
Structural guess
Steel and concrete composite core with perimeter framing.
Spatial scale
Massive urban scale; multi-tower high-rise complex dwarfing surrounding context.
Lighting
Golden hour sunlight reflecting off curved glass facades with soft diffuse sky illumination.
Atmosphere
Luminous and aspirational, enhanced by sunset reflections on water and glass.
Environmental context
Waterfront site with a river and bridge in the foreground, surrounded by mid-rise urban fabric and landscaped greenery.
Spatial experience
The composition frames a waterfront axis, projecting scale and verticality across a natural water body and bridge foreground.
Composition rhythm
Vertical curving fins accentuate the height of the towers, balanced by the horizontal expanse of the waterfront foreground.
