141 Willoughby
An exterior street-level view of 141 Willoughby by Fogarty Finger, demonstrating tall urban tower massing, articulated grid facades, and urban contextual integration.
- What we like about this project
- The contrasting proximity of classical masonry detailing on the right against the crisp, modern grid of the central tower.

- Geometry
- Multiple slender vertical tower volumes step up and align along a dense urban corridor, displaying expressed column and floor slab grids.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with vertical metal or cast stone fins forming an expressive external grid.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with concrete core and composite floor slabs.
- Spatial scale
- Towering high-rise scale creating a deep urban street canyon relative to pedestrians.
- Lighting
- Bright afternoon sunlight catches the upper brick and glass volumes, casting long shadows across the lower streetscape.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and dynamic metropolitan atmosphere filled with contrasting textures of stone, metal, and glass.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban street corridor with multi-lane traffic, mature street trees, and surrounding high-rise context.
- Spatial experience
- Gazing upward from the bustling urban street reveals a dramatic canyon formed by contrasting tall modern glass towers and older masonry facades.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical repetition of window mullions and floor plates balanced by the continuous line of street trees.
