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. The goal of the design was to broaden and strengthen a designated green spine through an urban redevelopment zone and to create a landscape-dominated environment in a dense urban context. 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.
