Elevated rooftop terrace garden at night with integrated bench lighting
贵阳
An elevated commercial podium landscape precedent demonstrating how integrated curved bench lighting and organic planting soften a dense high-rise urban context.
- What we like about this project
- Continuous glowing perimeter slots under the planters make heavy concrete forms appear to float above the terrace floor.
