The building is conceived on a transition lot between high-rise residential and a primary commercial corridor passing through downtown. Faced with the challenge of bridging these two zones, internal circulation is established onsite, easing visitors through the various program elements from street to street, with hotel entry and restaurant abutting the residential neighborhood, and retail positioned on the commercial street front. The building mass wraps around the perimeter of the site, gaining height and responding to the existing vertical dimension of neighboring building forms in each of the commercial and residential zones.
