■ Sky bridges at each level and a double-insulated
glass facade unite the two halves of the tower
together within a single cohesive envelope.

tower, echoing its circular form at the center
of the new financial district and welcoming
visitors inside.
■ The tower provides self-shading for the
atrium’s public space below while double
insulated low-e glazing (U=2.0W/m²K;
SC=0.4) and envelope insulation (U=0.55
W/m²K).
