QDM consists of four towers, each 14 levels high, with setbacks in between. This conventional approach risks dominating the site rather than integrating with it, fostering isolation rather than connections, and offering privacy at the expense of great views.
We envisioned a living form fabric of interconnected horizontal structures, acting as urban bridges that frame the context and blend with the landscape. We employed AI and Dynamo software in scripting a program to optimize design, experience, and sustainability. Designed with layers of shared spaces, communal areas and amenities.
