LEESER’s design uses pattern at two scales to enliven the surface of the residential tower project. At the large scale, a branching two story line cuts an iconic void pattern into the field of glass fins that wrap the building. At the small scale, a pattern of opposing triangles on each fin creates the illusion that the façade is undulating. The combination of the two gives a sense of depth and movement to the simple taught glass form.

Currently under construction, the complex will open in late 2014.
