- Large-scale corporate campus; mid-rise office blocks spanning multiple bays with extensive horizontal plazas.
- Lighting
- Golden hour sunset lighting from the side casts long horizontal highlights and glare across the glass curtain wall facades.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and expansive, anchored by the warm glow of the setting sun over the water.
- Environmental context
- Waterfront campus setting with a rip-rap stone retaining edge bordering a body of water, alongside open parking and low-scale surroundings.
