CLIENT//THE FIRST GROUP
STATUS//COMPLETION DUE 2012
In its aim to meet the Client’s exciting brief BSBG set out to provide a sophisticated building that, while sympathetic to its surrounds and the imposed guidelines, is recognizable as an outstanding example of modern architecture. With the use of high quality materials and clean geometric fenestration, the tower is unique, elegant and bold in appearance. Permeable ground floor retail and lobby zones serve to activate the street frontage while the podium levels above bring interest in colour and shade to the street.

The striking tower forms were also carefully planned to maximize natural day light to all apartments. The stepping terraces of the lowest residential building take maximum advantage of canal views and encourage outdoor living. The curvilinear forms of the commercial towers subtly address the street whilst completing the wrapping forms of the podium and towers around the beautifully landscaped piazza.
