All the apartments and connecting areas are designed to maximise natural daylight, with balconies or terraces, and access to a secluded‘oasis in the city’ – a terraced roof garden on the13th floor. Next to the structure at a right angle will be a  second, 13-storey residential and retail building by Stanton Williams. The ‘carved’ volumes are linked at ground floor by a connecting canopy, which creates a generous double height lobby and entrance area housing a winter garden. This glazed space opens out onto landscaped gardens overlooking the water. The building is designed to create a strong sense of place, using the highest quality materials, and complementing and responding to the neighbouring buildings in the masterplan, including Herzog and De Meuron’s round residential tower.
