Description(English)	The tree under “skylight”, a calculated lighting by reflection, is a focus in the office lobby for staff resting. Floored by external pavers, it is an internal Zen courtyard with external atmosphere. The “skylight” creates an illusion of sky above, breaking the vertical limit of a relatively low headroom office. The courtyard can be viewed from all common areas via openings of different sizes and opacity. Each meeting room and waiting area break the horizontal limit by borrowing views from the courtyard. The office is also extended horizontally by including the common lobby and maximizing sea view by the use of glass and mirror.
Description(Native)	「天窗」和樹是是辦公室等候大堂的中心點，也是同事們小聚休憩的空間。其地板鋪設了室外磚，成為一個有室外氛圍的內部禪境庭園。 「天窗」其實是個設計出來的反射燈源，它營造了一種頭上有藍天的錯覺，讓人忘記了辦公室相對低的天花高度，打破了垂直界限。人們可在所有公共空間通過不同大小和透明度的畫框窗看到庭園。每個會議室和等候大堂都可向庭園借景，打破了水平界限。辦公室的大門可全開，把電梯大堂也包括在辦公室範圍內，增加辦公室的可用面積。另一方面，訪客亦可從電梯大堂透過辦公室欣賞到室內的庭園和海景，使原本狹窄的電梯大堂增添生氣。辦公室單位面對維港壯麗的海景。設計師利用了鏡子的反射和玻璃的透明度，延長了海景的闊度，令等候大堂每個部分都可以欣賞到海景，藉此延展了辦公室的水平界限。
