The complex consists of two tower buildings, each with a central core with large volumes cantilevered. Multiple protruding glass blocks are suspended asymmetrically on the side. The complex will host 8,000 employees with office space, research and development, testing, and public facilities.[5] The two skyscrapers are around 200 meters tall (213m and 195m respectively[6]), with an open-air suspension bridge connecting them at 100 meters above the ground.[7]
