SWA provided landscape architectural services for a new office tower including the arrival plaza, west and north gardens and upper on-structure view terraces at the 8th and 9th floors.

Landscape with integrated hardscape elements in combination with active and passive water elements is designed to provide beauty and refreshment for employees and visitors alike.
