An urban high-rise precedent by Danny Forster & Architecture featuring a gridded tower element rising above an active, illuminated streetwall podium.
- What we like about this project
- Purple uplighting activates the ground-level entryway beneath the modulated stone podium.

- Geometry
- Slender vertical tower volumes rise from a modulated, multi-story streetwall, contrasting a dark rectilinear volume with a gridded lighter central tower bay.
- Facade system
- Unitized window wall with punched glazing and expressed vertical mullion grids.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame or concrete superstructure with curtain wall envelope.
- Spatial scale
- High-rise tower scale set against a walkable, multi-story urban streetwall.
- Lighting
- Twilight sky with warm interior illumination glowing through windows and colored accent lighting at the street level.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and dynamic urban dusk atmosphere contrasting glowing interiors with deep tower shadows.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban street edge flanked by older masonry and contemporary mid-rise and high-rise buildings.
- Spatial experience
- The street frontage reads as a human-scaled podium with illuminated portals that transition upward into towering vertical residential or commercial blocks.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical grid rhythm on the central tower juxtaposed with horizontal window bands on the adjacent dark volume.
