The tower will comprise of 27 mixed tenure residential units, together with a ground floor restaurant/café along with a vertical garden on the east elevation integrating the building into the park and vice versa. Using a patterned lattice framework both as a structural component and as a means of modulating the scale and relationships of the building’s facades, thus adding another valuable landmark to the city’s eastern skyline.
