Project Brief
Blending urban energy with coastal calm, Solera is a dual-tower residential development that creates a contemporary, human-centered environment.
Defined by sculpted forms and a shared central podium, the project creates a connected residential environment shaped by movement, rhythm, and community.
Project Info
Gently shifting balconies express movement and capture the surrounding energy. Light and shadow animate the towers, enhancing their fluid presence within the urban landscape.
Interiors flow with soft lines, natural tones, and clear sightlines that welcome daylight. Each space extends toward sculpted balconies, creating a seamless connection with the surrounding views.
The landscaped podium forms a communal heart with lounges, play areas, and shaded retreats, designed to feel open, balanced, and connected to the adjacent park.
Design Development
Between the lagoon and harbor, two volumes respond to views, circulation, and parks, with podiums, terraces, and undulating balconies giving the architecture a dynamic, living character.
The design evolves from a simple base into a living structure shaped by residents. Terrace extrusions and circulation create a shared pulse, guiding the rhythm of undulating balconies that reflect the community’s dynamic life.
Undulating balconies mirror the community’s rhythm, creating a vertical pulse across the facade. Light and shadow animate the form, giving the building a living, resident-shaped quality.
Grid lines from both towers extend into the podium, forming its central heart and creating dynamic, functional zones throughout the space.
The final composition unifies towers and podium into a cohesive architectural landmark, where volumetric clarity, spatial continuity, and facade articulation converge to create a vibrant, community-driven urban form.
“The pool is the heart of the masterplan, shaping the landscape around it. Extending the building’s lines into the podium unifies architecture and landscape, while indoor and outdoor spaces connect naturally, and each pavilion and gathering space is positioned for key views.”
