At the base of the building, the blocks will be cantilevered, which will also allow for the creation of a couple of covered green areas.
The two spaces will be connected by a lobby planned as a new route between Park Street and the Thames.

The building will be brick. The windows will be large on the Thames side and small on the Park Street side. This is due to the close location to residential buildings.
We will remind, the Danish studio BIG also projects 3D hotel-camping in the middle of the desert in Texas.
