Description: Luxury residential units atop class-A office building, with podium retail. The project is an exercise in logistics, whereby the service aparment, and office component cascades down a series of terraces formed by joining the vertices of a concave heptagonal site. While this affords the most expansive views of the city beyond, it requires considerable gymnastics from the mechanical floors, transfers and atirums to realize. |
