II. Façade concept - Inside/OUtside relationship
Façade Design
Connection to Nature To strengthen the concept of human scale throughout our design, a connection to nature will be provided at different levels of the building. Fluent connections between indoor and outdoor spaces start at plinth level: pavilion-like structures flow along the façade, opening and closing the space behind it naturally (for reference, see architecture report). Then at bridge level, a green space is situated. This provides a connection between the towers and creates the opportunity for people to interact with the building at a higher level. The cantilivering balconies and truncated roofs allows for the user to feel a connection to nature at even the highest levels, creating a fluent connect to nature from top to bottom. The passage underneath the bridge provides a playfull connection to the waterfront, but also encourge the people walking by to interact with the building.
