The plinth, inspired by the region's natural cliffs and plateaus, serves as a shared space for academic, residential, and office users, fostering fluid connections and visual interplay. It provides distinct addresses for each tower while uniting them through common ground and public areas.
The design prioritises sustainability through thoughtful building positioning, materiality, and energy-efficient strategies, while also emphasising social sustainability by creating a healthy, vibrant community. The inclusion of UBC’s academic health program, along with residential, office, and leisure facilities, ensures a dynamic and engaging environment for all users.
