Vertical Courtyard as High-density Urban Block

This project sits next to a mega-hospital in a high-density metropolitan area with a severe parking shortage, hotels, restaurants, and retail. Co-developed by the local government and a private landowner, this project will provide a high-density solution to include parking, hotels, retail, offices, and housing. Using parking garages (a total of 7 floors) as podiums and the green roof of a garden, SAAN designed a vertical courtyard in conjunction with four (4) more gardens on different levels of the multifunctional complex. Residents will have ample green spaces to experience sunlight, fresh air, and nature.
