A grand commercial entrance precedent utilizing a sweeping curved bronze canopy and a central curved glass portal to link twin high-rise towers.
- What we like about this project
- The seamless curvature of the central glass entrance cylinder echoing the large radius of the overhead canopy.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical composition featuring a concave curved drop-off court flanked by twin tower volumes, linked by a heavy horizontal curved canopy and a central curved glass portal.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing with vertical fin mullions paired with a sweeping composite metal canopy and curved structural glass entrance.
- Structural guess
- Steel-framed towers and canopy structure with concrete core and column grid.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental commercial scale; the multi-story towers and wide sweeping canopy dwarf the pedestrian drop-off zone.
- Lighting
- Daylight overhead with soft upward glow from recessed lighting at the base of structural columns and within the curved glass entrance portal.
- Atmosphere
- Luxurious, polished, and formal, highlighted by the dark reflective pool and warm bronze tones.
- Environmental context
- Urban high-rise drop-off court with landscaped circular planting mounds and a dark reflective water feature in the foreground.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching from the circular paved courtyard, the expansive curved canopy creates a sheltered threshold before entering the transparent, glowing central lobby volume.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical window mullions on the towers contrasting with the heavy, uninterrupted sweep of the horizontal canopy.
