Text description provided by the architects. After many years and numerous attempts by other architects Bates Smart’s innovative design unlocked the potential to build over an existing structure. The central lift core was relocated to the perimeter of the building creating an open flexible floorplate. A series of steel trusses allow the building to cantilever over the existing structure and transfer loads.
