The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.
Cubus is a retail insertion into the urban fabric on a very compact and irregular site, exhibiting a strong identity and retail program that differentiates itself within its context. It is designed to provide a platform to experience the city at different heights. Customers are able to take advantage of the various views—starting at the elevators which are housed in a transparent shaft on an external face. The building provides a more visually and physically “open” floor plate at each level that also includes outdoor spaces to break up the verticality of the building and provide more flexible retail areas within.
Its identity is also reinforced by a strong façade and integrated lighting theme, inspired by “ice cubes” transformed into simple geometry, triangular shape, frit pattern, etc. This simplified pattern was applied throughout the building, including the entrance feature wall and the entrance lobby, giving the building a fractured façade that addresses the street views and creates a unique lighting experience.
