An exterior precedent showing how biomorphic carved voids can intersect rigid commercial glass tower volumes to create a canyon-like urban atrium experience.
- What we like about this project
- The organic cavern appears to erode directly through the stacked office floor plates like a natural rock formation.

- Geometry
- Stacked rectilinear glass volumes parted by an asymmetrical, organic carved cavity acting as an open-air canyon between floor plates.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with vertical sun-shading fins and smooth plaster or composite organic soffit liners.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame or concrete core with perimeter cantilevered floor plates framing the central void.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story commercial high-rise tower viewed from a ground-level pedestrian vantage.
- Lighting
- Direct late-afternoon sun casting warm highlights on the organic soffits and deep shadows within the carved canyon.
- Atmosphere
- Striking and dramatic, merging futuristic geometry with natural canyon textures under clear sunlight.
- Environmental context
- Urban setting framed by foreground foliage and a clear blue sky.
- Spatial experience
- Dramatic upward perspective accentuating the contrast between rigorous vertical mullions and free-form cavernous voids.
- Composition rhythm
- Dense vertical window mullions contrasted against sweeping, fluid horizontal curves of the carved soffits.
