GEM Tower boasts a diverse mixed-use program, featuring residential, hotel, retail, and cultural facilities such as auditoriums, ballrooms, and meeting rooms. Spread across its elevation, the tower begins with public amenities at the podium levels, hotel section and residential apartments. The tower’s crown hosts a double-height rooftop bar and mechanical spaces. The design prioritizes expansive open-air terraces providing stunning views of the bay and surrounding landscape. The massing of the tower includes a full-height atrium, reflecting the surrounding traffic flows. Inspired by natural phenomena like sea waves, the tower’s design echoes continuous forms and force fields, integrating circulation flows into its overall massing and visual appearance through various architectural elements.
