architecture
The building consists of two triangular structures with little space between them.
The steel frame provides office space without pillar.
The floor system is reinforced concrete slabs mixed with rubber steel decks.
Parking lots, retail areas, and links to the MRT system can be found above and below the ground.
The tower is encased in chemically treated aluminum alloy that changes color with reflected light.
The square and circular design pierces the facade of the building, which is engraved with a grid pattern of squares and window openings.
The dramatic entrance is presented by an eight-story intersection with skylights and other lighting effects to create an airy feel.

Frenchman Alain Robert, best known for climbing skyscrapers, canceled attempts to climb the building on November 3, 2000, after reaching the 21st floor police banned Robert's ascent. And he re-entered the building through a window on the 23rd floor. He was detained by the Singapore Police, treating his stunt as a criminal intruder.
