This model supports floor plates using a branching exoskeleton of angled columns. The primary columns are designed with a wider profile parallel to the facade, allowing them to remain light and thin in the perpendicular direction. To keep the floors column-free, frosted acrylic plates are supported by a frame system with notches that secure the primary columns.
