This is residential tower Riva
An exterior perspective of residential tower Riva by MoederscheimMoonen Architects, demonstrating undulating stacked balconies and warm soffit lighting along an urban canal.

- The undulating geometry of the balconies varies slightly floor by floor, creating a fluid, wave-like movement.

- Geometry
- Mid-rise residential tower featuring undulating, organic floor plates stacked vertically above a gridded base volume.
- Facade system
- Continuous cantilevered balconies with curved profiles and recessed floor-to-ceiling glass envelopes.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete core and flat slab construction with cantilevered slab edges.
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-story residential tower set against a waterfront quay and broader urban skyline.

- Environmental context
- Urban waterfront setting surrounded by a dense cluster of high-rise towers and a quay with trees and pedestrians.
- Spatial experience
- Viewed across a misty canal at dusk, the illuminated balconies project a warm rhythm against surrounding high-rises.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal undulating strata rhythm contrasted against vertical neighboring towers and vertical tree trunks.
