The Goodsyard
An aerial twilight rendering of a large-scale urban mixed-use development, demonstrating stepped podium masses, activated green roofs, and integrating high-rise towers with existing transit infrastructure.
- What we like about this project
- Commuter train tracks running directly through the illuminated lower right corner of the podium block.

- Geometry
- Complex multi-block masterplan featuring stepped podium structures with landscaped roofs and slender vertical tower elements rising from the base.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing atop masonry and metal-clad lower podiums, with expressed structural framing on the high-rise tower.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with concrete core for towers; robust podium framing supporting extensive rooftop loading and terraces.
- Spatial scale
- Macro scale urban development, showing multi-story podiums and tall skyscrapers relative to surrounding city fabric.
- Lighting
- Twilight sky with purple and orange hues contrasting sharply against warm interior window illumination and glowing horizontal floorplates.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and luminous evening atmosphere emphasizing active commercial spaces against a fading urban dusk.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban environment at dusk, integrated with surrounding historic street fabric and commuter rail lines.
- Spatial experience
- The composition scales down from aggressive high-rise towers to a stepped podium level featuring active roof terraces and integrated public rail infrastructure below.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal floor slab lines stacked rhythmically inside glazed podium blocks, punctuated by the vertical thrust of the adjacent towers.
