The architects organized this small building in a new high-rise district into three slender towers to emphasize its height. The slab-like towers step down between taller buildings nearby and lower residential buildings on the river. Deft use of linear continuity through façade elements creates an exhilarating rhythm that thrilled jurors. A skin of matte and polished panels and glass stretches over changing forms with weight placed at the corners, making for a solidity not found in most curtain wall buildings.
