We specialize in the planning and design of complex, climate-adaptive architecture & infrastructure.
An aerial precedent for climate-adaptive waterfront infrastructure, integrating tiered public esplanades, native planting, and marine connections against a dense urban backdrop.
- What we like about this project
- Historic tall ships moored directly against modern landscaped terraced piers.

- Geometry
- Linear stepped esplanade runs parallel to the water edge, backed by a raised multi-tier highway and high-rise commercial towers.
- Structural guess
- Marine pile piers and reinforced concrete retaining walls along the esplanade edge.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale urban infrastructure spanning multiple blocks along a major waterfront.
- Lighting
- Bright ambient daylight with soft shadows from midday sun casting down on the esplanade.
- Atmosphere
- Expansive, active public waterfront blending historic maritime elements with modern urban green space.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban waterfront setting featuring high-rise commercial towers, marine infrastructure, and docked historic vessels.
- Spatial experience
- A sweeping multi-level waterfront promenade connects urban docks, piers, and terraced green spaces directly to the city edge.
- Composition rhythm
- Diagonal bands of water, pedestrian paths, planting beds, roadway, and skyscrapers create a layered civic section.
