Handmade bricks of a different colour are used on each tower. A single brick type, NATURE10, is used throughout; fired once to create the red Brick E on the eastern tower and fired twice for the blue/grey Brick S on the western one. The buildings are rotated in relation to one another to maximise daylight, views, and to minimise overlooking and loss of light to neighbouring new buildings. The result is a dynamic composition that addresses its urban context in all directions.
