Designed in the the "final
year of optimism", 2008, the project was to evaluate the site
of the client's office building, and redevelop it to a more
efficient use. The existing building is replaced with a horizontal/vertical
folding structure housing apartments and a large green area.
The building's segments and finishes negate tectonic - the
green roof becomes a green facade, vertical divisions of the
horizontal wing become horizontal divisions of the tower.
Altogether, the complex houses 120 apartments and 250 parking
spaces. The scheme was accepted and included in the city's
spatial plan.
