REMOVE CORE TO OPEN UP STATION STREET — The core is moved to the side to allow traffic through Station Street, which also opens up the floor.

PROGRAM STACK — The mixed-use program places office spaces between the amenities on the top levels, and the retail/skywalk on the bottom levels.

ROOF CROWN PARK — The stepped massing protects the roof park from prevailing winds.

LIFTING TOWER BASE — The base rises above Station Street, straddling across the right-of-way to allow the steady flow of people and vehicles to pass unobstructed underneath.

RECONNECTING PATH NETWORK — The low-rise shopfront building runs the length of the street, ensuring pedestrian connectivity and efficient circulation.

UNION HUB — A pixelated park of tiered terraces forms the city’s largest roof garden on the top of town.
