A Tower of Stacked Volumes

This mixed-use tower stacks a series of shifted volumes rather than rising as a single block. Each level steps back slightly, creating terraces and breaking the mass into pieces that read at human scale. Offices occupy the lower floors, residences above, and shared amenities sit between them. The stacking gives every unit outdoor space and daylight, even deep in the plan.

The facade is a simple grid of concrete and glass, with deep reveals that shade the interior and give the tower texture. Structural loads are concentrated in a central core, freeing the perimeter for open floor plates. The result is a building that is efficient to build and generous to occupy—two goals that often pull apart.

Breaking the Block

Large towers often read as one heavy mass. Here, shifting each volume slightly turns the facade into a series of smaller faces, catching light at different angles. The terraces give the building depth and let residents step outside. What looks like a formal gesture is also a practical one—more daylight, more outdoor space.

Density That Feels Civil

High density does not have to feel anonymous. The lower floors open to the street with shops and entrances; the residential floors are reached through a shared garden terrace. Between them, a public stair links the levels. The tower is tall, but it behaves like a neighborhood—layered, connected, and built around the people who use it every day.
