HEADQUARTERS OF ESSENCE FINANCIAL SECURITIES

The complex program of the tower includes two different headquarter offices, rental offices and financial trading halls. The design is shaped both externally by the public realm and internally by the complex functional needs:
Externally, the building envelope extends the street frontages while the main building bulk is elevated above ground to create a clear passage that connects the entrance plaza and the central green axis of the district, blurring the boundary between inside and outside. Internally, the simple and efficient layouts reflect the programmatic requirements of the different zones. Different functional zones with unique spatial configurations are stacked vertically and sandwiched with sky gardens and communal facilities to create a vibrant vertical city. The design adopts a twin side core structure with exoskeleton reinforced by horizontal trusses.
