随着时间的推移，建筑物的大小可以很容易地调整。我们选择将建筑单元分成两个、三个或四个部分，而不是致力于一组更大的建筑。达到密度和保持一个人的规模和多屋顶花园。这座住宅楼所能提供的灵活性使得潜在的高层建筑能够被放置在街道旁边，并将低层建筑层叠到湖畔，形成可变的天际线。

With a flexible approach to the phased growth of the site, the size of the building can easily be adapted over time. Rather than committing to a cluster of larger buildings, we chose to break the building units into clusters of two, three or four components.  Achieving both density and retaining a human scale and multiple roof garden. The flexibility that the residential tower can offer allows for potential high rise buildings to be positioned alongside the street and cascading low rise buildings towards the lakefront creating variable skylines.

建立滨水公园的规模和活动因其前面的功能而异。滨水公园不是海滨长廊，它的目标是创造一个真正充满活力的公共空间，包括特定的活动和发生的事情。有一个双重正面的概念，有两个截然不同的前沿：道路前和水前。每一个因素都会影响建筑物的形状。这些建筑物的位置和规模将决定每一栋建筑的特点，以及它与更广泛的背景之间的关系。住宅与滨水区相遇，创造了一个充满活力的空间。住宅和滨水区融合在一起，互相对话。

The creation of a waterfront park varies in size and activities according to the functions it fronts. Rather than a waterfront promenade, the waterfront park aims to create a truly vibrant public space by including specific activities and happenings through its length. With a double frontage concept, there are two distinct frontages: the road-front and the water- front. Each influences the form making of the buildings. The placement and scale of the buildings will create the identity of each and how it relates to the wider context. The residential meets the waterfront creating a vibrant space. Residential and waterfront merge together, having a dialogue with each other.

在平面图中，两个单元的15m×15m的一系列单元彼此以不同的角度排列，形成不同形状的间隙和间隙。每一组楼的组件数目也会有所不同，产生不同大小和密度的建筑物，每个住宅单位都可以被认为是一流的，因为它们都有三方面的空间和外部空间，使人感觉比实际要大。

In plan, a series of units measuring 15m x 15m of two units each are arranged at varying angles to each other, forming differently shaped gaps and interstitial spaces. The number of tower components in each cluster can also vary, generating buildings of various sizes and density.  Each residential unit can be considered as prime as they will all have a triple aspect and exterior space providing a sense of being larger than they actually are.

由于缺乏现有的当地市场信息，该方案还需要灵活使用，每栋建筑都应适应成为混合使用的现场/工作结构。15x15m的区块确保了住宅和办公室的配置都可以适应。这些集群的丰富性和多样性类似于尼日利亚北部村庄的一种感觉。一个非常简单的矩形挤压的松散聚类产生了大量的大量迭代：重复块的排列可能性的多样性意味着没有两个建筑物是相同的。

Due to the lack of existing local market information, the scheme also needed to be flexible in its use and each building should be adaptable to become a mixed-used live/work configuration. The 15x15m block ensures that both residential and office configuration could be adapted. The richness and variety of the clusters resembles a feeling of the northern Nigerian village. The loose clustering of a very simple rectangular extrusion creates a multitude of massing iterations: the variety of arrangement possibilities of repeating blocks means that no two buildings are the same.

密度的灵活性：建筑的密集化是为了形成一个连贯的整体，同时定义了水和道路的正面。因此，在确定平面布局的同时，可以根据开发时的市场需求来确定楼层的分段数：规划保持不变，这是改变的部分。决定场地最高密度的因素是停车需求，在住宅用地发展方面，结构停车位的面积和开挖水平由地下水位决定，因此，每栋建筑物的最高层数取决于地下室停车位的面积。

Flexibility of density:  The building massing has been developed in plan to form a coherent ensemble, and define both water and road frontages.  So while the planometric layout has been set, the sectional number of stories can be decided according to the market demands at the time of development:  the plan remains the same, it is the section that changes. The deciding factor that determines the maximum site density will be the parking requirement.  On the residential site development, the area of structured parking and the levels of excavation are determined by the water-table.  The maximum number of stories of each building is thus determined by the area of basement parking achieved. 

使用灵活性：根据市场需求，一些建筑物被研究为办公室或住宅。虽然集中和体积保持不变，但楼层到楼层的高度和停车设施已被研究过，以适应这两种用途。海滨长廊亦会详加设计，以适应这两种用途，而更合适的用途，则由发展商自行决定是否作住宅用途或办公室用途。

Flexibility of use:  Depending on the market demands, some of the buildings have been studied to be either offices or residential.  While the massing and bulk remains the same, the floor-to-floor heights and the parking provisions have been studied to be able to adapt to either use. The waterfront promenade would also be detailed to adapt to either use.  It would be up to the plot developer to decide whether a more appropriate use would be either as residential or office.

为了保持使用和密度的灵活性，立面在通风和玻璃要求方面总是不同的。为了达到这种灵活性，同时保持对整个开发的可识别的语言，可以使用3-4系统的外部百叶窗。每一卷都应该覆盖不同的卢浮宫几何形状，强调建筑物的体积分解。

To maintain flexibility of use and density, the façade will invariably be different in terms of ventilation and glazing requirements.  In order to achieve this flexibility, while maintaining an identifiable language to the overall development, 3-4 systems of exterior louvres can be applied.  Each volume should be clad with a different louvre geometry emphasising the volumetric breakdown of the buildings.
