Elevated outdoor terrace with lush planting
An elevated high-rise sky terrace featuring lush native planting, fluted concrete columns, and a warm timber ceiling beneath a curved ceramic tile fascia.
- What we like about this project
- The complex curved ceramic-clad edge profile wraps both the upper and lower slab fascia cleanly.

- Geometry
- Curvilinear cantilevered floor slab with deep perimeter balcony, heavy fluted concrete columns, and continuous floor-to-ceiling glass wrapping the indoor lobby.
- Facade system
- Curved glazed curtain wall paired with an exterior cantilevered planted terrace slab.
- Structural guess
- Post-tensioned concrete flat slabs supported by heavy precast or in-situ concrete columns.
- Spatial scale
- Generous multi-story commercial scale with large structural column bays and deep overhangs.
- Lighting
- Bright ambient daylight with warm recessed downlights punctuating the timber soffit overhead.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, sheltered outdoor oasis suspended high above the dense urban core.
- Environmental context
- High-rise urban tower context with surrounding dense commercial skyscrapers visible in the distance.
- Spatial experience
- Transition from enclosed indoor lobby opens out onto a wide, planted outdoor terrace sheltered by a deep overhang.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating massive concrete columns spaced along a generous curved veranda edge.
