· Its unique needle-like form makes it seem impossibly slender, in order to appear delicate on the skyline.
· The tower is designed to appear split (north/South) along its centre. This makes the building feel taller than thinner thus reducing the apparent bulk of the building
· “TectonicEyelids” capture the light and direct occupant views towards the street, away from buildings
· OverallBrick Cladding/ Fenestration system with glazing and solid panels behind
· The façade has interest through modulation on a floor-to-floor basis. AngledCanopies reference Croydon’s heritage, Juliet balconies and winter gardens give inverse articulation, a ‘folded plate’ elevation add to articulation.
· A charming ‘lightbox’ terminates the facade at the skyline while a colonnade terminates the façade at street level, giving it depth and allowing light and porosity into the ground floor spaces.
· Green spaces integrated throughout including a roof terrace with fantastic views overthe city, a play area on the 11th floor and shared play garden on the ground floor
