Twist and Turret is a coworking tower composed of two towers that begin to overlap. The tower on the left is the turret which is organized by typical office space. The tower on the right is the twist which houses coworking space and is divided into five different neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are characterized by themes: playful, creative, mindful, formal, and adventurous. The neighborhoods are each centered around a certain amenity and a secondary mode of vertical circulation. For example, the playful neighborhood has ‘chutes and ladders’ as its secondary vertical circulation and a playground as its amenity. The bottom four levels act as an extension of the two towers and the park. They house a market, cafe, gallery, and daycare and have large doors which open directly towards the park in warmer months.
