Built upon the previously approved building footprint, controlled building envelope, and structural grid of a half-constructed development abandoned decades ago, the design of this residential high-rise faced significant constraints. Despite these limitations, the building was reimagined to fulfill contemporary commercial and residential needs.

The original building regulations, which were more lenient at the time, allowed the footprint to occupy nearly the entire site, leaving only a small portion of green space at ground level. To address this shortfall and enhance residents’ well-being, the project prioritizes integrating greenery throughout the vertical structure—most notably on every rooftop of the towers.

Moreover, the central building mass was elevated (from original design) has become a key design gesture, creating a bridge-like structure that opens up valuable space below for shared condominium amenities. This elevated form allows natural light and ventilation to permeate the communal areas, which include landscaped gardens, an internal courtyard, interconnecting bridges, and a rooftop vegetable garden. These features are visually and spatially connected across multiple floors, fostering a sense of openness and community.

The building’s façade is treated with a mix of materials—glass windows, steel balcony railings, aluminum screening for the CDUs, and corrugated precast concrete panels—strategically arranged to resemble a woven tapestry. This layered composition adds depth, texture, and dynamic visual interest to the exterior, distinguishing the development within its urban context.
