The concept for the design is to make the building as an abstract form of a coordinate axis. The core is a long axis where office blocks facing various orientations are stacked next to it. The latitudinal elevations of these boxes have large openings with dark color glasses looking out to its surrounding. The longitudinal elevation perpendicular to the orientation of the freeway, where volumes shift slightly on top of each other as a reaction to the containers close by the site.
