Architecture
editConcept
editDesigned by Atelier 4, the building's architecture stems from modernism and employs a design that makes use of elements and materials extending from the lowest point to the tallest part. It is an esthetic contrast between reinforced concrete in juxtaposition with structural glass, which highlights its height and eco-friendly durable structure as well as transparency.[5][6]
