An exterior architectural precedent showcasing stepped sawtooth roofs and rhythmic concrete piers, ideal for studies in rhythm and natural roof-lighting.
- What we like about this project
- The sawtooth roof planes progressively increase in scale from left to right, dramatizing the perspective.
Materials

Visual tags
- civic
- sawtooth
- rhythm
- public-realm
- roof-scape
- Geometry
- A repeating sequence of sawtooth roof profiles stepped across the facade, paired with heavy concrete structural piers and louvered wall infills.
- Facade system
- Perforated concrete screen walls paired with structural concrete piers and glazed openings.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete columns supporting timber-clad sawtooth roof trusses.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story public pavilions with grand vertical proportions due to oversized sawtooth profiles and tall columns.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight casting soft, directional shadows beneath deep roof overhangs.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, civic monumentality under an expansive gray sky.
- Environmental context
- Paved public courtyard or plaza with neighboring multi-story residential buildings visible in the background.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching across the open stone plaza, the rhythm of pitched volumes and deep overhangs creates a monumental yet porous public scale.
- Composition rhythm
- Rhythmic repetition of angled timber soffits and concrete uprights stepping upward across the facade.
- Style reading
