An urban master plan precedent integrating high-rise glass towers with preserved industrial brick structures along an activated waterfront.
- What we like about this project
- Autonomous shuttle vehicles integrated into the foreground transitway alongside bicycle lanes.

- Geometry
- Multi-tiered urban master plan featuring tall glazed towers anchored by low-rise historic brick industrial buildings along a riverfront.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing on high-rises paired with retained historic masonry facades.
- Structural guess
- Steel and concrete composite frames for high-rises with load-bearing masonry for historic blocks.
- Spatial scale
- Macro urban scale showing regional scale towers down to human-scaled waterfront promenades.
- Lighting
- Bright daytime sun casting crisp shadows and highlighting reflective glass facades.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant, clean, and optimistic urban daylight scene.
- Environmental context
- Waterfront setting with an adjacent multi-lane transit corridor, pedestrian paths, river bridge, and dense urban backdrop.
- Spatial experience
- A sweeping view across the water connects linear infrastructure and public greenways to dense, vertical urban forms.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical emphasis of slender towers contrasted against low-slung, horizontal riverfront parks and industrial blocks.
