We hope that the tower simply makes people’s lives a little better in the way they work and in the way they connect with others. By creating a strong relationship with its occupants the building functions more as a catalyst for a regional transformation and development. The triangular shape is simply the result of series of pragmatic decisions. We set out to maximize the views towards the newly built park, while creating a strong presence at the main intersection. From other angles we wanted the tower to look elegant and slim. The tips of the triangle serve as exterior sky balconies.
