Looking up at the white tower and its stacked curved balconies, with trees planted around the base.

The elliptical design allows for panoramic views from one side, while converging the form into a cohesive whole on the other. The plan adopts a circular exterior and a square interior approach, ensuring that the indoor spaces remain rectilinear. This arrangement preserves the landscape and views without compromising functionality.
This marks our first attempt at designing a circular high-rise residential complex, with the aim of generating new possibilities for collective housing through innovative approaches.
