LETTER

By finding yourself in an over-designed environment, it is unlikely to stand-out by having the same direction. To be able to see the shape, you must be distinguished from the background. So, instead of focusing on the main mass, the design should study the connections, the materials, the details. From far, the building would fade anyway, but from close, it should glow! If you add the two possible distinct elements (which should express the two owners) to the double height garden, you can create the unmistakable signs on the volume.
One letter can sound totally different if you add a specific sign to it. By following this concept, the building can have a striking different impression on the eye than the rest of surrounding ones. The sustainability element should be taken into account when designing a 15 floors office façade which will be hit by strong sunlight 7-8 months per year. The verticality and the horizontality can play a role in defining the elevations
