Chapelfield Gardens
An urban masterplan precedent demonstrating the integration of dense red-brick residential towers with an expansive public park and pedestrian network.
- What we like about this project
- Bright yellow pilotis support a suspended red brick building volume over a public path.

- Geometry
- High-angle perspective showing a dense cluster of mid-rise and high-rise towers interfacing with an irregular, landscaped public park and pedestrian pathways.
- Facade system
- Varying envelope treatments including red brick punched windows and grid-like high-rise curtain walls.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frames and shear walls for high-rise towers.
- Spatial scale
- Macro scale overview displaying multi-story towers alongside human-scaled park paths, playgrounds, and trees.
- Lighting
- Late afternoon or early morning golden sunlight casting long shadows and warm highlights across facades and park surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and inviting, blending dense urban architecture with verdant natural parklands under warm sunlight.
- Environmental context
- Urban waterfront or parkside development combining high-rise residential blocks with extensive public landscape infrastructure.
- Spatial experience
- A sweeping view connecting high-density residential fabric directly with generous green open space, water features, and public recreation grounds.
- Composition rhythm
- Dynamic diagonal arrangement of towers contrasting with the organic winding paths of the landscape below.
