An aerial site precedent showing twin circular hospital towers under construction in a dramatic coastal mountain landscape by MENG ARCHITECTS.
- What we like about this project
- The twin circular footprints create internal courtyards while maintaining a commanding presence over the rugged hillside.

- curved-facade
- topography
- Geometry
- Two massive circular volumes linked by a shared lower podium, embedded within a heavily forested, hilly coastal topography.
- Facade system
- Continuous horizontal ribbon balconies or sun-shading louvers wrapping curved structural slabs.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete frame with flat slabs and circular core walls.
- Spatial scale
- Megascale institutional complex; multi-story circular buildings dwarfing surrounding construction cranes and roads.
- Lighting
- Bright ambient daylight under an open sky, casting soft shadows across the curved facades and construction site.
- Atmosphere
- Expansive, industrial-scale energy set against the serene backdrop of green hills and open sea.
- Environmental context
- Coastal mountain setting with dense vegetation surrounding the active construction zone and nearby roads.
- Spatial experience
- The vast scale of the twin rotundas dominates the natural clearing, framing views toward the distant sea over undulating green hills.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating horizontal brise-soleil bands wrapping the continuous curved perimeters of both circular masses.
