The two-part leaf of the Ginkgo tree, a Chinese symbol, was the force behind the concept for the two residential and office towers. This is mirrored in their parabolic floor plan. A distinctive identity is bestowed onto the ensemble by the diagonal even-crossing façade architecture and the upper bevelled ends, which generate illuminated crowns.
