“Three circles” serve as the starting point of this project’s design. The circles are arranged at the front, back, and center of the building mass to accommodate the site’s restriction on an elongated form. In addition to being a visual focus for the building façade, the three circles also function to bring the building together spatially as well as through the strong image conveyed. The three circles have the same diameter length and similar sizes in plan. However their elevations are varying in height, which produced the gradual change in the massing, and enriching the overall form of the architecture.

In the glass applications, curved shaped glass is used for all the three circles equally, in order to completely present the smooth curve of the design.
