A waterfront residential block featuring a warm timber ground datum beneath rhythmically staggered white volumes with shed roofs and recessed roof terraces.

- Geometry
- Horizontal composition featuring a continuous dark timber ground-level plinth supporting staggered white volumes with asymmetrical shed roofs above.
- Facade system
- Combination of flush dark timber cladding on ground level and smooth white plaster finish on upper volumes with punched openings.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with infill walls and lightweight roof structures.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story domestic scale humanized by recessed balconies, sliding glass doors, and integrated plantings.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused overcast daylight reflecting slightly off the calm water surface onto the lower facade.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, serene waterfront tranquility balanced by clean geometry and warm natural materials.
- Environmental context
- Waterfront canal setting with lush green marginal planting and flowering vegetation along the bank.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents a layered edge along the water, transitioning from a natural canal bank up through timber balconies and deep white-volume terraces.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical window openings and dark steel balustrades rhythmically counterbalanced by irregular shed roof peaks.
