An exterior architectural precedent for large-scale corporate headquarters utilizing sweeping catenary rooflines and expansive glazed curtain walls.
- What we like about this project
- The dramatic transition from tall vertical tower edges to a sweeping concave roof curve bridging both structures.

- tropical
- Geometry
- Asymmetrical twin towers linked by a sweeping catenary-like dip in the roofline, creating a continuous wave profile across the multi-story mass.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with integrated top-level louvers and recessed colonnade at grade.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with concrete core and long-span trusses supporting the sweeping roof profiles.
- Spatial scale
- Massive multi-story corporate headquarters; towering vertical proportions offset by wide horizontal podium volumes.
- Lighting
- Soft overcast daylight casting gentle shadows across the facade grids and under the generous ground-level overhangs.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and monumental, balanced by soft tropical framing and open daylight.
- Environmental context
- Tropical setting with mature palm trees framing the foreground and a wide green lawn at the base of the structure.
- Spatial experience
- The deep central saddle and expansive glazed base pull the surrounding tropical landscape visually and physically into the public lower levels.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical mullion grid interrupted by sweeping diagonal louvers along the upper curved parapets.
