Bath Road Co-living
An urban co-living precedent showing how a curved corner massing and stepped terraces can turn a tight street intersection into a welcoming civic gateway.
- What we like about this project
- The curved corner softens the heavy massing while seamlessly incorporating outdoor terrace recesses.

- Geometry
- Multi-story mass with a pronounced curved corner stepping down via terraced setbacks at upper levels.
- Facade system
- Precast stone frame grid with dark infill panels and punched glazing.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with flat floor slabs and non-loadbearing facade cladding.
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-story co-living residential block set against pedestrianized street scale.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight with soft shadows, casting sunlight across the curved stone and brick facade.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, active, and integrated into the bustling urban street fabric.
- Environmental context
- Urban street intersection with neighboring metallic faceted building on the left and traditional streetscape on the right.
- Spatial experience
- The building terminates an urban vista, curving gracefully to meet intersecting streets with a double-height colonnade at the base.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular vertical window bays grouped within grid-like stone and warm panel infills.
