NBCUniversal Campus Project
An exterior facade precedent showing a curved white campus building featuring deep shaded terraces and crisp vertical screening elements.
- What we like about this project

- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with cantilevered floor slabs.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story building elevation with people standing along the terrace balcony for human scale.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting soft shadows under the deep overhang, accentuating the crisp white geometry.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, bright, and airy atmosphere with a crisp palette of brilliant white surfaces.
- Environmental context
- Exterior campus setting framed by green foliage against a bright blue and cloudy sky.
- Spatial experience
- The deep shaded terrace provides a protected outdoor viewing perch looking out from behind a clean rhythm of white posts.
