Enclosed on three sides by mountains, the design responds with a set of mind. Low-rise buildings correspond with the low-rise surroundings. Since the site is situated in a hilly area, upper floors are open to capitalize on remarkable views, while the lower floor podium harmonizes with the surrounding topography. In keeping with the overarching theme, Eco Vessel has two major gathering spaces where the two massing meet-Ecorium and Energy-rium. These serve as the center of communication which will be shared by employees and local residents.
