Park + Garden - Featured Project
An exterior dusk precedent for high-density multi-family residential towers utilizing brick cladding, expansive corner curtain walls, and active ground-level podiums.
- What we like about this project
- The deep vertical glass corner acts as a visual hinge breaking up the heavier solid brick facade planes.

- Geometry
- Multi-story residential towers featuring articulated massing blocks, corner vertical curtain wall glazing elements, and a structured podium base.
- Facade system
- Combination of unitized glass curtain wall at corners and masonry veneer rainscreen or cavity wall at main residential volumes.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete flat plate structure with perimeter columns and shear walls.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale urban residential complex spanning approximately ten to twelve stories.
- Lighting
- Dusk sky balanced with warm interior illumination glowing through windows and architectural uplighting on ground-level piers.
- Atmosphere
- Welcoming and vibrant urban ambiance created by the interplay of cool twilight and warm interior apartment lighting.
- Environmental context
- Urban intersection with multi-lane asphalt street, planted median, surrounding mid-rise fabric, and an adjoining paved pedestrian alleyway.
- Spatial experience
- A commanding urban corner presence that anchors the street intersection and frames an adjacent pedestrian walkway.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical window alignments and stacked balconies create a steady facade rhythm interrupted by shifted volumes and corner glass towers.
