TOWER IN THE PARK

Residential

park.

The tower in the park project aims to increase density without compromising the park’s character by incorporating planting boxes into the building’s facade. The planting boxes serve as a distinctive feature that blends with the surroundings and enhances the project’s sustainability. To maximize space utilization, the tower employs a skip-stop design that features corridors only at certain floors, providing more living space for residents. Each floor dedicates various community-oriented spaces outside the elevator, providing easy access for everyone.

This project proposes an alternative solution for the development of towers in the park. Instead of destroying existing towers and ecosystems, this typology enhances the area’s density while preserving the park’s character. The tower in the park project provides a sustainable and functional living environment for its residents, promoting a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle.

The master plan was a group effort led by me. Additionally, I am responsible for the design of the towers on the site.
