900 West
An exterior dusk precedent of an urban corner building featuring dark paneling, gridded windows, and a generous overhanging roof canopy.
- What we like about this project
- The deep, warmly lit wood- or metal-lined soffit of the top roof canopy acts as a luminous cap.

- Geometry
- An orthogonal multi-story massing featuring a prominent overhanging flat roof canopy and gridded facade divisions that wrap the corner.
- Facade system
- Dark metal panel rainscreen system with large punched multi-lite windows.
- Structural guess
- Concrete or steel frame superstructure with exterior rainscreen cladding.
- Spatial scale
- A substantial mid-rise urban residential or mixed-use building, roughly ten stories high.
- Lighting
- Twilight blue hour sky contrasted with warm interior illumination glowing through windows and street-level pole lights.
- Atmosphere
- Crisp twilight atmosphere balanced by the warm, inviting glow of interior lights.
- Environmental context
- Urban intersection with neighboring mid-rise structures and evening street traffic.
- Spatial experience
- The building anchors a street corner, its gridded fenestration providing a strong urban rhythm while warm interior lighting creates a welcoming glow at dusk.
- Composition rhythm
