Quince
An exterior architectural rendering by Works Progress Architecture showcasing a stepped white residential tower with rhythmic punched windows and arched upper-level details.
- What we like about this project
- The transition from a standard orthogonal window grid on lower floors to delicate arches at the very top crown.

- stepped-profile
- Geometry
- Stepped massing comprising a taller residential tower block and a lower connecting podium wing; regular grid of punched windows with arched openings crowning the uppermost residential level.
- Facade system
- Precast or stucco panel system with deep punched window openings and recessed balconies.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame structure with flat plate slabs
- Spatial scale
- Mid-rise to high-rise urban scale, approximately 10 to 12 stories in total height.
- Lighting
- Bright daytime lighting with soft overhead illumination, casting subtle shadows within window recesses and articulated facade panels.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, bright, and optimistic daylight atmosphere framing a structured urban development.
- Environmental context
- Urban street corner setting framed by tropical palm trees in the foreground and neighboring low-rise buildings.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents a monumental yet rhythmically articulated urban edge from the street, softening into podium heights that relate to surrounding neighborhood scale.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical window grids offset by horizontal setbacks and culminating in a rhythmic arcade at the crown.
- Style reading
- Contemporary urban vernacular with classical proportioning cues
- Program
- Mixed-use residential with ground-level podium
