Abian Tower

We embraced a bold, unconventional approach to showcase its architectural elegance. Rather than relying on traditional, bright palettes often used in residential projects, we opted for a darker, moodier aesthetic. This approach re-imagines the building not just as a structure, but as a luxury good—an object of desire. The deep, rich tones create an atmosphere of exclusivity and sophistication, allowing the design's intricate details to emerge with an almost cinematic quality. By using shadow and subtle highlights, we crafted a visual experience that feels intimate and refined, evoking a sense of mystery and allure. This method transforms the perception of Abian Garden, elevating it beyond a mere architectural project to a statement piece, resonating with those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Two thirds up the tower, the shimmering form is cut asymmetrically, reducing the visual bulk. At this point, the facade breaks and reveals a two-storey apartment level with recessed glazing.

At the lower levels, the form flares out creating a dramatic canopy over the lobby and facility levels. Set in from the towers form, these levels are distinguished by clear glazing and large mangrove-like columns. Through these columns, glimpses of the shimmering, gold and green tiled lift core are revealed.

Internally, the base of the building provides amenity spaces for residents and guests including a recreation level overlooking tropical landscaping. The cafe with its distinctive timber roof and the forest-like facade elements brings an additional scale to the arrangement.

The curved form and delicate articulation of the curtain wall contrast the rigid and rectilinear massing of the neighbouring commercial and residential developments. This allows the new building to stand apart as an urban landmark and also to provide a soft interface with the surrounding built environment.
