The varying heights of the tower massing have been set to relate to the surrounding context in a unique yet clear way. Each volume relates to height datums of the adjacent buildings. The tower low-block reinforces the existing streetwall along West
The vertical separation and shifting of massing results in multi-roof terraces that are to be used for a combination of shared outdoor amenity space and private patios, each with unique view and daylight opportunities. By providing a multitude of am
