The relationship between earth and sky initiates a discourse in materials which reinforce the theme of contrasting, yet harmonious, elements. The tower base, clad in rough finish granite to a height of 24 meters, provides a sense of stability and anchors the tower to the ground. In contrast, the main body of the tower is clad in a glass curtain wall to reflect the sky and achieve the impression of lightness.

KPF used insulated glass units with silver high-performance coating to meet the highest aesthetic, ergonomic, and environmental standards. Horizontal metal fins complete the curtain wall, adding depth, rhythm, and a sense of scale.
