The two central atriums were expanded, letting more natural light into the interior and facilitating both pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Leveraging the dramatic nature of its location, Window enters into a theatrical dialogue with its surroundings by re-imagining the esplanade as a theatre audience and the rippled glass facade as a stage curtain.
The new facade alternates three sections of elegant cladding with two sections that seem to fold, featuring vertical creases of varying depths.
Dubbed the ‘sideways tower’, Window preserves the original building’s resolutely horizontal character, a sharp contrast with its more vertically inclined neighbours.
