Podium Landscaping and Form The function of the podium is more than just the entrance to the main tenant lobby . It serves as a pedestrian walkway with access at ground level which will link future buildings to each other and making the entire area fully pedestrianised . As with the highline in New York the whole area presents itself for seamless access for people and interaction with ground floor retail and other buildings in the precinct . At the same time the pergola provided is a breakaway place for tenants in the building to sit on the benches constructed and enjoy city life from a garden perspective .
