With a name deriving from bouldering terminology, Arête Tower interprets the art of climbing through its structural and circulative elements.

The diagonal mass timber members provides a winding framework and a regular pattern inviting irregularity within the structure itself by the application of interior elements such as staircases and mezzanine floors.

The syntactic approach to the design highlights the threaded stair as the centerpiece of the structure, breaking the vertical repetition while conforming to the diagonal grid that is the essence of Arête.
