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.
