This super-thin, lightweight tower has two distinct aspects: the south-facing side has a system of balconies and vertical layers of glass to mitigate solar gain. The northern side is a staggered shape, alternating between apartments and sky-gardens. The scheme, for Trident International Holdings, is due to complete in 2012.
