A striking high-rise massing precedent by ODA-Architecture utilizing a large central void and continuous curved floorplates to break down skyscraper scale.
- What we like about this project
- The dramatic off-axis lean of the bridging structure connecting the two vertical volumes.

- Geometry
- Twin high-rise towers linked at base and crown, featuring a dramatic inclined central structural bridge and void cutout; continuous horizontal balcony bands wrap the curved corners.
- Facade system
- Unitized curtain wall with continuous perimeter balconies and louvered screening.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with transfer trusses at the crown and base bridging the central void.
- Spatial scale
- Massive high-rise scale towering over surrounding mid-rise urban fabric.
- Lighting
- Golden hour twilight lighting with soft glow emanating from interior glazing and warm reflections on the facade bands.
- Atmosphere
- Serene yet monumental urban mood captured during dusk with warm ambient glow.
- Environmental context
- Subtropical urban streetscape with palm trees, multi-lane road traffic, and pedestrians along the sidewalk.
- Spatial experience
- The building looms over a wide urban boulevard, framing sky and landscape through its massive central portal.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating horizontal floor slab lines contrasted by the powerful diagonal sweep of the central void.
