and planning of the square has been focused to encourage and facilitate flexibility for social gatherings, outdoor functions, concerts, markets, product launches and general enjoyment of the tenants and visitors alike. This was a crucial design aspect to ensure the urban square has a life beyond office hours and is a place and venue that the public can enjoy 24 / 7. The overall architectural aesthetic is one of bold, natural and transparent materials that allow each building to develop its own‘ personality’ within an overriding architectural language that speaks of contemporary longevity.
