Challenge
A practice needed a model detailed enough to show facade rhythm at 1:200, delivered four days before a competition submission.
Competition Presentation Model — 2026
Riverside Tower Model
A 1:200 presentation model of a mixed-use tower, printed in nine sections with a translucent resin curtain wall lit from within the base.

02 / Design
Design
The tower was split at floor plates so joints hid in shadow gaps. The curtain wall was printed in clear resin at 0.05 mm; the podium and core were printed in PLA to keep weight and cost down.
03 / Printing Process
Printing Process
Clear resin sections were printed overnight, washed, cured and lightly polished. The base houses a diffused LED strip that lights the whole shaft from below.
04 / Final Result
Final Result
Delivered in three days. The facade mullions read cleanly at arm's length and the illuminated base became the centrepiece of the submission.
