The project explores how vertical living can feel both cohesive and personal: architecture that understands its urban context while responding to the individuality of each resident.

From the outset, the goal was to craft a building with a strong exterior presence, clear in silhouette, disciplined in proportion, while extending that same language inward. The challenge was to maintain unity without sacrificing variety.

To achieve this, the design relies on a restrained palette of materials and tones, selected not only for their aesthetic restraint but for their ability to shape daily experience through light, texture, and tactility.

This quiet materiality allowed for a focus on craftsmanship and detail, on the precise way one material meets the next, how transitions are resolved, and how the atmosphere of each space is shaped through small but intentional gestures.

Circulation is treated as architecture, not leftover space: thresholds are composed, vistas are framed, and the pace of movement is softened through calibrated shifts in scale and light.

The façade, in turn, reinforces this logic, balancing repetition and variation to give the tower a readable order while allowing moments of individuality to emerge within the whole.

"Amida is ultimately an exercise in balance: between structure and subtlety, form and function, individuality and cohesion."
