Description |
|
This apartment
tower, on Alie Street, provides 287 flats
spread over 25 above ground floors.
Skyscraper News describes it as featuring, "...
an irregular rounded corner plan form
which creates a striking new profile
when viewed from below. ... The external
appearance of the building results from
a subtly alternating pattern of light
solid metal panels and deep set darker
vertical windows; with the floor edges
expressed as continuous bright stainless
steel channels. ... ...The fully glazed corners are suspended from vierendeels at 7 storey intervals, thereby expressing the open aspect of the living spaces within and enhancing the slenderness of the building externally. The top of the tower is crowned by an aerodynamic 'flying' wing profile which moderates the roof terrace wind environment, and etches a new signature onto the city skyline." |
