Build low on the Citadel side to preserve that view, build high on the other side where the view is not so important.

Significant part of the building saved, view preserved, interesting and viable building is built - everybody wins.

I'll say it: why? That pic illustrates just how unremarkable and unattractive that building is. I'd much prefer the original proposal by Westwood.
