Landscaping forms a major part of the tower's aesthetic form, used extensively as an architectural surface treatment.

It achieves a Green Plot Ratio of 1,100%, and the aim is for it to become a 'haven for birds and animals', thereby encouraging the return of biodiversity into the dense urban space.
