By GlobalDataThe two towers will be connected by a 12-storey podium that includes green spaces, leisure facilities, and publicly accessible areas.
Specifically, a single-storey Winter Garden on the 13th floor will link the two structures.
In addition, the office spaces, designed by 3XN Architects and sustainability consultant GXN, will integrate green terraces and areas to promote collaboration and socialising.
The new development will operate entirely on electricity and incorporate smart technology to achieve energy efficiency.

Last month, the University of Bristol in the UK signed a contract with McAlpine for the construction of its new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.
