A key element of the proposal was Waterloo Road, a striking pair of towers linked at the top and bottom, designed to house large apartments and penthouses. The architectural concept was inspired by traditional Chinese garden elements—a moon gate and a Chinese dragon. The form was conceived by digitally carving away a dragon-like shape from a basic mass, leaving a terraced void that shaped the balconies and apartments, creating both individuality and continuity. The space between the towers was envisioned with a rounded moon-gate quality, reinforcing the connection to its design inspiration.

ARM designed two of the four towers—one on Waterloo Road and the other on Cottonwood Crescent. The Cottonwood Crescent tower was proposed to accommodate serviced apartments and the Silkari Club, catering to longer-stay residents.

Between these buildings, The Close was envisioned as a shared retail-fronted street linking to an existing park and future development sites to the north.

The proposal also included a distinctive façade treatment, particularly on the Cottonwood Crescent tower. Its outer screen was inspired by ripple patterns in water—digitally simulated by dropping an object into water and capturing the movement. This pattern was translated into the façade and extended onto the rooftop, where a swirling pergola was designed to frame a rooftop bar.
