The tower design seeks to stand out from the typical glass boxes and balconies of modern towers, while blending with the smaller-scale masonry buildings nearby.
The mass of the tower is focused at the corner of the site, and steps down to respect the smaller-scale neighbors.
The urban interaction revolved largely around this multi-level garden space that would blend the public plaza with the private courtyard.
