Exterior view of a hillside residential project by Leong Leong
A hillside residential precedent by Leong Leong that integrates stepped stucco masses with a central circular tower and skylight dome.
- What we like about this project
- A translucent hemispherical dome caps the top of the solid concrete vertical tower.

- Geometry
- Asymmetric stepped stucco volumes flank a prominent cylindrical concrete tower capped with a glass dome, positioned into a sloped hillside.
- Facade system
- Stucco-clad exterior walls paired with board-formed concrete on the central tower element.
- Structural guess
- Concrete and masonry bearing walls with cast-in-place concrete elements.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, anchored firmly into the sloping landscape contour.
- Lighting
- Warm, hazy sunset light casting long, soft shadows and imbuing the atmosphere with a golden glow.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and grounded, illuminated by the warm, atmospheric haze of late day.
- Environmental context
- Dry hillside terrain populated with sparse native planting and low olive trees against a hazy sky.
- Spatial experience
- The composition anchors into the terrain, balancing solid monolithic volumes with an open balcony and a curving sloped ramp.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical emphasis of the central silo contrasts with the horizontal stepping of the flanking cubic volumes.
