The hotbed of Silicon Valley is geographically and culturally expansive, boundless, and divergent. Its spirit of innovation is seeded with ‘blue sky thinking’. By tapping into the Valley’s unprecedented way of doing things differently,
SKY LIGHT rethinks today’s architectural icon. As opposed to the singularity of a tower, SKY LIGHT is based on multiplicity, horizontality and place-making. It presents a collective environment for urban activity and creates civic identity to Silicon Valley and to the world beyond. To experience SKY LIGHT, to walk under it, over it, take in the sunset at its observation deck, is to be immersed in its sublime vastness.
