Toky Terrace

Toky Terrace is a twin tower project nestled in the central plot of Zhongshan city. This design seeks to capture the essence of the gradually developing city while also providing an iconic benchmark for the development of the city. The towers are combined at various floor levels to create vertical sky gardens that fit in beautifully with the context of the mountains to the southern side creating a deeper sub-conscious sense of belonging to the city. The staggered retreating steps of each floor on the lower levels of commercial podium enrich the user experience while the green terraces provide a break in monotony and encourages communal interactivity through the platforms. The design and orientation of the towers allow for efficient natural lighting to be used to its full potential while simultaneously reducing heat gain from the western sun. It also gives way for the use of natural ventilation techniques to be adopted in order to stimulate natural air flow in publicly dense spaces like the atrium and sky garden.
