A precedent for this hybrid financial services building could be a monastery. It combines dormitory and dining facilities that partially encircle and enclose a shaded courtyard with adjoining educational and meeting spaces and a centrally located library. The plan, elevated on a cylindrical podium, is an asymmetrical assemblage of circle and rectangles organized along an extruded in section, east west axis which relates to early 20th century abstract works of art.
