Luxury meets exclusivity
This was no ordinary office address. If a commanding view of the golf course is the defining moment of corner offices in this building, the jewel in the crown is the luxury retail space on the first 4 storeys of this building. The occupants of this building certainly would have location and exclusivity to boast about.
A grand classical approach to elevation design meets functional crispness as an elegant rotunda defines the ground level styling, reminiscent of Parisian architecture. The iconic tower structure maintains crisp classical proportions progressing vertically as a series of stepped volumes, capped by a distinctive back lit celebratory top – a luminous beacon on the city’s skyline.
Design Direction
The big strategy
The design comprises of a 4 storey retail podium of approximately 115,000 SqFt with an Office Tower rising 20 storeys above. The project occupies a unique location within the city’s urban fabric, a prominent business address that draws upon a verdant green context. The tower provides for approximately 368,750 SqFt of Office space, with floor plates ranging between 10,890SqFt – 20,560 SqFt. The upper levels offer expansive views of the city and of the golf links located to the North West.

Designed with a firm eye on the environment
Designed to match stringent guidelines on environment, the building goes further to optimise use of water and energy resources, with meticulous detailing of all systems that consume energy.
Luxurious, lazy spaces
The lower floors are designed for people to spend lazy afternoons over slow lunches if they choose to, in the grand plaza areas. The high-street retail experience offers interesting an brand experience nestled in luxury.
Innovation in construction
A composite structural steel system has been adopted to offer combined benefits that optimize construction time and employ slender elements in the tower design, that efficiently utilize the large 11 Mtr spans.
