Design Concept

The architectural vision is inspired by modular treehouse forms, emphasizing a symbiotic relationship with nature and the water. The core concept is the sculptural timber high-rise, which is composed of interlocking timber volumes. The design prioritizes biophilic principles, incorporating generous balconies, green terraces, and vertical gardens to bring nature directly into the urban fabric. This warm, natural aesthetic intentionally contrasts and complements the surrounding steel-and-glass cityscape, creating a unique and desirable residential identity. The flexibility of the modular units allows the project to cater to diverse demographics, from young professionals to large families.

Structure and Engineering

The structural solution is a direct commitment to sustainability, utilizing a mass timber approach engineered for optimal performance and efficiency. The project is primarily built from Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), chosen for its strength, buildability, and ecological benefits.

• Primary Structure: CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) is the main load-bearing system, creating a structure that is acoustically warm and energy-efficient.
• Acoustics & Energy: The timber construction delivers superior insulation and sound dampening compared to traditional high-rise materials.
• Integrated Design Review: The design focuses on robust and repetitive interlocking timber volumes, confirming the structural feasibility of a multi-story, high-rise residential structure using mass timber materials.
