The void which is a distinctive feature of The Opus is treated as a volume in its own right. It is free-form and fluid appearing as it extends beyond the immediate boundaries of the cube. The interior of the void is clad with a fully engineered curved glass curtain wall system. It provides floor plates with a stunning variety of internal and external views. (Ref:PRJAE0722635/002)
