The best way to describe this office building is to say it is an explosion of boxes making up the tower. With boxes extending outwards, these sections are cantilevered over open space to another section below. The mirrored glass walls reflect the sun in the dark area of Downtown Vancouver casting light downwards throughout the day.
As the Deloitte Summit was nearing occupancy Kenneth Chan in The Daily Hive wrote:
"Deloitte Summit’s pace of construction was relatively quick as the building used steel for its structure instead of concrete. Designed by Tokyo-based OSO and Vancouver-based Merrick Architecture, the tower’s form is inspired by the shape of a Japanese lantern — comprised of a system of four-storey cubes stacked around a central concrete core."
The tower is 91.7 m / 301 ft high with some 24 floors.
