ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a case study of the building that considers a 54 level triangular shaped tower with 51 office floors from Level 4 to Level 54 for a single prestige tenant. It illustrates a unique solution to the interfloor movement problem. The levels are arranged in villages of three floors with a garden at the lowest floor. Three cores are positioned at the apexes of the triangle, and include the lift hoist ways and toilet pods. Each core was designed to accommodate six lifts. The actual core that each passenger must use is defined by design brief point, which requires a passenger to alight at a core furthest from the garden. The secondary core lifts would only respond to landing calls, car calls would be inhibited. It was possible to envisage each group of lifts serving some 15 floors in each village group, having substantially the same population.
