The Brief The brief from the clients , co-developers Attacq and Tricolt , was to create a unique residential complex , including executive 1-bedroom , 1-bedroom , 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units as well as multiple penthouse suites .
In response to the brief , dhk moved away from the traditional rectangular apartment block design and decided to take on a more unconventional form . To make best use of the property ’ s unobstructed views , dhk proposed four separate elliptical towers . The buildings ’ shape takes inspiration from an ellipse ( a mathematical term for a curved plane surrounding two focal points ) which is highly efficient in terms of ratio of surface area to internal volume .
The lack of corners reduces the visual profile of the buildings and were identified as the most suitable form when considering multiple towers in proximity to one another . Inspired by their mathematical origins , each tower is named after
