Floating massive geometric rectangular volumes penetrate the space with the profuse use of cantilevers and wide overhangs, which were a mainstay of Locsin’s signature architecture. The dark-bronze tinted curtain wall and the formal reflecting pool further amplify the buoyant maneuvers of Locsin’s architectural composition and defy, albeit illusorily, the gravitational pull.
