The semi-transparent sunscreen, which can alternately be fixed close or rolled up open, uses specially-manufactured membrane (polymer-laminated) fabric printed on both sides with an ultra large plant motif.
The volumes of the individual buildings are staggered, both horizontally and vertically. In this way they react to the sloping topography.

Sheppard Robson, on behalf of Delancey, has received planning consent to redevelop York House into a glistening crystallised 18 storey office building on the Southbank of the River Thames
The site is a 100×45 parallelogram oriented north-south and limiting on the west with a new urban park and on the north, east and south with similar housing blocks, located into a new development in the south of Madrid
These three blocks, bordered on one side by the avenue and on the other by the quay, are part of the large-scale redevelopment of the Katendrecht district in Rotterdam.
The building has been pushed to the edge of an orthogonal, gently sloping site so as to leave room for a walled garden. Since this is the southern hemisphere, the building opens up to the cooler south side while its north face is much more closed, designed to admit light while keeping the heat at bay.
