_context Hong Kong has two kind of landscapes: manmade and nature made. In the first one, the rectilinear shape predominates, but in the other, the curvilinear and organic design is build by the flux of the water and mountains.
_structure A central axis made of concrete connects the floors and receives the weight of the radial steel structure. The rotation of the floors creates balanced balconies with relate the building to its urban context and allow users to enjoy different views.

_culture The design of the tower have two important features influenced by Chinese culture. It is segmented into eight separated sections. This is because, in Chinese, eight and wealth have similar sounds. Chinese people believe that using the number that closely corresponds to this sound creates a good omen. We design a roof garden according to the principles of the Feng Shui, a millenary Chinese technique to harmonize the energy.
