88 Regent Street - Featured Project
An exterior dusk photograph of a multi-story residential tower featuring curved corner glazing and a stepped silhouette, serving as a precedent for urban high-rise massing.
- What we like about this project
- The glazed circular crown at the very top acts as a glowing lantern element above the stepped roofline.

- Geometry
- Tall stepped tower with curved corner glazing and a circular crown feature, rising from a wider multi-story base podium.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with vision glass and spandrel panels.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with flat plate floor slabs.
- Spatial scale
- High-rise residential tower dominating the streetscape, roughly twenty to thirty stories high.
- Lighting
- Twilight blue hour sky contrasting with warm interior window lights and white and red streaks from street traffic trails.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and luminous twilight urban atmosphere featuring active street life and glowing interior spaces.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban intersection surrounded by lower commercial buildings, surface parking lots, and a distant skyscraper skyline.
- Spatial experience
- The building anchors a busy urban intersection, commanding views across the street network while glowing from interior lighting at dusk.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical window mullions rhythmically wrap the curved facade, punctuated by floor-to-floor horizontal shadow bands.
