This design explores a multiple point tower and podium configuration that hovers above the existing terrain and bamboo vegetation, revealing the existing lush bamboo vegetated sloped bank areas in juxtaposition and contrast to the hard-edged orthogonal geometries of the podium and towers. Staggered slab towers are sited on the podium to maximize views and create a dynamic figure-ground composition on the site. Social/public spaces are introduced vertically within the towers, powerfully expressed as bridging and view platforms between the buildings. The psychological benefit of meaningful connections with nature in our work environment is well documented, and the intent is to create a rich and healthy environment where all spaces have a direct relationship to nature, light and fresh air, and roof gardens are incorporated into all roof planes
