An architectural precedent by Jean-Paul Viguier et Associés showcasing stacked cantilevered floor plates, continuous perimeter glazing, and an articulated exterior stair integrated into a landscape context.
- What we like about this project
- The textured dark curved soffit detailing directly above the ground level walkway contrasts sharply with the clean white balconies above.

- Geometry
- Stacked horizontal floor slabs with deep perimeter cantilevered balconies, supported by slender vertical steel or concrete columns, featuring a prominent diagonal exterior stair leading to the upper deck.
- Facade system
- Full-height glazed curtain wall recessed behind continuous perimeter cantilevered balconies with thin railings.
- Structural guess
- Post-tensioned concrete slabs supported by slender perimeter columns.
- Spatial scale
- Four to five-story institutional or commercial building, comfortably scaled with human figures visible on the ground and balconies.
- Lighting
- Bright midday daylight with soft shadows; foreground tree foliage casts dappled shadows across the upper left building facade.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, open, and cleanly connected to the surrounding green landscape.
- Environmental context
- Park setting with mature deciduous trees framing the building and paved pedestrian walkways surrounding the ground level.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching from the shaded parkland path reveals an open, highly transparent ground level fronted by rhythmic structural columns and a welcoming central stair.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong horizontal stratification of floor slabs contrasted with the vertical rhythm of slender columns and a singular diagonal stair.
- Style reading
- Contemporary modernism with emphasis on horizontal layering and transparency
