An exterior facade precedent exploring rhythmic, multi-scale arched openings and deep reveals within a monumental urban commercial volume.
- What we like about this project
- The arches are layered in multiple planes, with some solid panels acting as false reveals and others containing fully glazed multi-story windows.

- Geometry
- A flat plane facade punctuated by varied proportions of monumental and recessed arches, creating a rhythmic composition of solid walls and glass apertures.
- Facade system
- Precast or rendered panel system with deeply recessed structural arch reveals and curtain wall glazing.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame with long-span floor slabs and shear walls
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-story commercial scale; monumental arched openings span multiple levels.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight with warm internal lighting glowing through the lower glazed arch openings and light trails from traffic below.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, rhythmic monumentality juxtaposed with the kinetic blur of urban traffic.
- Environmental context
- Urban street corner setting with adjacent high-rise towers visible in the background under an overcast sky.
- Spatial experience
- The deep arched recesses establish a layered threshold between the bustling urban street and the interior volumes.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical yet balanced grid of overlapping arched voids and solid vertical piers.
