An exterior precedent for curvilinear residential towers utilizing continuous stacked floor plates to provide deep wrap-around balconies and strong horizontal rhythm.
- What we like about this project
- The elliptical geometry tapers slightly or shifts subtly as it meets the roof crown with a light-weight trellis feature.

- Geometry
- An elliptical high-rise volume wrapped in continuous horizontal floor slabs that create prominent sweeping balconies.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall recessed behind continuous cantilevered concrete or composite balcony slabs.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete core with post-tensioned floor slabs cantilevered outward.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story residential skyscraper towering far above surrounding mature trees.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight under a clear blue sky, casting sharp soft shadows beneath the deep balcony overhangs.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, bright, and airy, balancing massive vertical scale with soft organic nature below.
- Environmental context
- Urban high-density setting surrounded by mature green parkland or dense tree canopy at the base.
- Spatial experience
- The tower floats above a dense canopy of trees, offering wide outdoor viewing platforms framed by stacked white overhangs.
- Composition rhythm
- Monotonous vertical stacking interrupted by the undulating elliptical plan and clean horizontal white bands.
