The project addresses transforming economic and architectural models through a reorientation of leasing logic and the consequent reconfiguration of the office tower typology and building systems combining real estate practices with sophisticated spatial and tectonic manipulations. The ‘Sectional Re-Leasing’ is a highly flexible tenancy control system maximizing the sharing capacity of amenities, vacancy control, informal encounters between tenants, interior layout and material efficiency, and variations in sizes and heights of each rentable platform. The extremely compact cluster of shafts stemming from the small lot diverges and converges as it grows functioning as a structure of the tower and as well as human and material circulation opening up spaces for interaction, communication, and collaboration animating the interior.
