Arcadia
A symmetrical modern residential facade precedent by Joe Adsett Architects, showcasing curvilinear concrete cantilevers and integrated landscape elements.
- What we like about this project
- A perfectly reflective metallic sphere centered in the foreground landscape acts as a visual pivot for the symmetrical wings.

- curvilinear
- Geometry
- Symmetrical composition featuring two sweeping wings connected at a central axis, with concave curved overhangs and arched ground-level cutouts.
- Facade system
- Exposed white concrete floor slabs and eyebrows with perforated dark metal balcony screens and recessed glazing.
- Structural guess
- Cantilevered post-tensioned concrete slabs supported by structural columns and shear walls.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, anchored horizontally by long cantilevered floor slabs.
- Lighting
- Clear daylight casting soft overhead illumination with gentle shadows under the deep concrete overhangs.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, balanced, and pristine with clean architectural lines softened by perimeter planting.
- Environmental context
- Suburban street frontage flanked by mature trees and a low perimeter fence with integrated planting.
- Spatial experience
- The symmetrical facade draws the eye to a central focal point anchored by a polished spherical art piece and a recessed entry portal.
- Composition rhythm
- Bilateral symmetry mirrored across a central axis, alternating heavy concrete slabs with delicate screens.
