An exterior facade precedent by ODA-Architecture demonstrating how structural concrete arches and deep recessed balconies can create layered depth and rhythm in a high-rise residential tower.
- What we like about this project
- The arches alternate and interlock vertically across the grid, dissolving standard floor slab expression.

- Geometry
- Grid of structural vertical piers interlocked with deep-set structural arches framing double-height and multi-story glazing units.
- Facade system
- Precast or cast-in-place concrete grid incorporating integrated balconies and large glazed window walls.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame with shear walls and column-slab construction supporting expressive exterior arch elements.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale residential tower facade spanning multiple multi-story tiers.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused daylight reflecting off glass and casting gentle shadows within the deep concrete arch reveals.
- Atmosphere
- A structured, tactile envelope balancing heavy masonry-like arches with transparent living spaces.
- Environmental context
- High-rise urban context with distant cityscape visible on the lower left horizon.
- Spatial experience
- The facade creates a rhythm of deep loggias and recessed balconies that mediate between private indoor rooms and the wide urban view.
- Composition rhythm
- Strict orthogonal grid modulated by the sweeping curves of soaring structural arches.
