Focusing on the atrium, steel transfer structures are used to support the glass panel
sheltering the area below. The steel transfer structure are thin and light-weight and enabling
large amount of skylight to enter while still serving its purpose of withstanding load. With
natural light shining in and high ceilings give more space for human body to feel small in
comparison to the space, so inducing a feeling of great space/ more openness. When a person
enters the building, the space immediately opens up to high volume ceiling, that is also made of
clear glass, looking all the way up to the floor 200 feets above. You enter into a lofty lobby
space, where banks of escalators rise through a seven-storey atrium, past glazed walls of car
parking – a grittiness that jars nicely with the world of silver marble below.
