Innovation inbuilt

Oval in plan, it required a number of different-shaped 3D units, up to 3.9m wide and 10.5m long, and with angled outer walls.

These were placed around an 8.2m × 6.8m concrete slip-formed core, which had been constructed in advance. A neat innovation was the design of the integral balcony structure, which doubled as the scaffolding during construction.
