The main entrance is placed through the open square in the east of the site, where the landscape is well harmonized with the water. The lower levels accommodate a promotion hall, customer service room, multi-functional all and sports facilities, in connection with the outdoor space known as the harmony court and Green Culture Slope in the south. The higher levels are vertically arranged to satisfy both independence and continuity of the business facilities based on security. The continuous volume of the lower levels is transformed in lines and sections within the tower and becomes a part of the Eco Smart Skin.
