In its composition, two organic shaped office towers emerge from a common public podium. A tensile roof structure transforms the space between the office towers into a grand, open atrium. This naturally ventilated zone acts as a climatic buffer, forming a transition between inside and outside.
Shaded by this lightweight membrane structure, the atrium encourages informal communication by accommodating an interactive flow of various business and social activities. The façade of the entire complex is wrapped with a system of fabric fins that not only shade the surface, but also soften the contour of the building.
