WAA说：“plinth的底层是公开的，并且大部分是由零售和公共游说空间组成的。”“由于这些底层空间的划分，沿着遗址的南缘，形成了一条轻松的通道，让公众可以在不进入大楼内部的情况下，穿过塔楼的整个场地，从而为大楼的直接环境注入行人生活。这样，塔楼零售空间的地面前沿就能最大化。”

"The plinth’s ground floor is publicly accessible and is mostly composed of retail and public lobby space," says WAA. "Due to a division of these ground floor spaces, along the site’s southern edge, a breezeway was created that allows the public to traverse the tower’s entire site - without entering its interior - which serves to infuse the tower’s immediate context with pedestrian life. In this way, the ground level frontages of the tower’s retail spaces are maximized."

该大厦将提供一系列的住房选择，从一至三卧室的单位。循环设计使每个单元都有两堵玻璃墙和可操作的窗户，使每个生活空间都能充分接触到光线和空气。

The tower will offer a range of housing options, from one- to three-bedroom units. Circulation is designed so that each unit has two walls of glazing and operable windows that allow ample access to light and air in each living space. 

“由于塔楼的façade上有大量的玻璃，一个像面板一样的滑动铝百叶窗系统可以作为一层额外的隐私和遮阳层，与FAÇADE经过处理的玻璃和有盖的外部露台一起使用。”这些元素共同保护塔的内部不受被动太阳能的影响，而百叶窗借给塔楼，这是一种不断变化的变色龙状外观，因为它们从直射阳光中反射出来。“

"Due to the extensive amounts of glazing on the tower’s façade, a panel-like system of sliding aluminum louvers serves as an additional layer of privacy and shading - in tandem with the façade’s treated glass, and the covered exterior terraces. Together, these elements protect the tower’s interior from passive solar gain, while the louvers lend to the tower, an ever changing and thus chameleon- like appearance, due to the reflections they catch from direct sunlight."
