Court Road
An exterior perspective of a curved mid-rise residential project demonstrating how terraced green roofs and tactile stone panels soften an urban corner condition.
- What we like about this project
- Textured vertical ribbing alternates smoothly with smooth stone panels along the curved facade.

- Geometry
- Dynamic curved volumes step back at upper levels to form landscaped terraces, maintaining a strong continuous street-edge rhythm.
- Facade system
- Unitized stone-clad precast panels with integrated recessed balconies and full-height glazing.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with flat floor slabs and column grids aligned to curved perimeters.
- Spatial scale
- Mid-rise urban scale, approximately six to seven stories tall relative to the multi-lane street.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight with soft ambient shadows and natural facade modeling.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, approachable urban living amidst heavy transit infrastructure.
- Environmental context
- Urban arterial road context with mature street trees, passing traffic, and neighboring low-rise brick context.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents an inviting, open ground floor to the street while upper curves pull the eye fluidly around the corner block.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical window alignments alternate with recessed spandrels and textured masonry panels around the curved perimeter.
- Style reading
- Contemporary curvilinear urban architecture
