This is residential tower Riva
An exterior architectural rendering of Riva residential tower, demonstrating undulating balconies and warm interior glow set against an urban canal backdrop.
- What we like about this project
- The central curved stacking of balconies breaks the rigid grid pattern established by the surrounding high-rise towers.

- Geometry
- A mid-rise tower featuring undulating, terraced floor slabs is nestled among orthogonal high-rise blocks along a waterfront quay.
- Facade system
- Terraced slab cantilever balconies with full-height glazing and recessed warm soffits.
- Structural guess
- Concrete core and floor slabs with cantilevered balcony extensions.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale urban residential tower standing amidst high-rise neighbors, fronted by a pedestrian quay.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight with warm interior illumination glowing through expansive glazing and balcony reveals.
- Atmosphere
- Melancholic autumn mood with warm interior lighting contrasting against a grey, rainy urban waterfront.
- Environmental context
- Urban waterfront quay with surrounding high-rise towers, wet pavement reflections, and falling autumn leaves.
- Spatial experience
- The building engages the urban canal frontage with an articulated base and stepped balconies that soften the verticality of the surrounding skyline.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal undulating balcony bands stacked vertically create a fluid rhythm contrasting rigid neighboring towers.
