LATER STAGE PROJECT
Conceptual Model 2
1
Site flanked by subway lines and dissected by subway service tunnel. Building footprint centered on site.
3
Building footprint extruded up. Volume split along service tunnel.
5
4
Widening of crevasse to increase atrium volume, create views for offices and lift lobbies outwards. Bulge volume to maintain GFA and to create iconic silhouette.
Orientation of crevasse to align with East – West direction and Lize Lu by twisting top of massing.
6
Core offset growing upwards, leaving ellipsoid ‘imprint’ in façade surface, increasing GFA.
Carve out 4 conic volumes to balance GFA and to create additional view situations and increasing ground floor lobby space.
