The main goal of the design was to maximize rentable space by moving the building to the property line on the East elevation and pushing the core to the side, and a column grid that allows for maximum uninterrupted space in the interior. The design also focuses on being sun responsive and provides different facade conditions on each elevation that address sun orientation: South (horizontal louvers); West (vertical louvers); North (exposed shear walls that follow interior grid); and East (fire-rated wall because is on the property line).
