One of the most profound impacts of our growing population is how we are shaping the planet through urbanization. Tall buildings play a pivotal role in the future of cities by addressing the challenges of increasing population and reduced resources.
By designing with natural forces that shape tall building design, and combining the latest technological approach, The super tower in Prince Bay will be symbol for a way of building a better future for all of us, and for our planet.
For tall buildings that wish to have a significant sustainable impact, it is critical to consider the factor that most affects the design: wind.
Wind is the most important factor affecting the design of tall buildings, and the shape of the “lighthouse” is based on aerodynamic principles. The rounded volume, tapering profile, and curved top design will significantly reduce wind loads. This significantly reduces structural weight, saving energy and construction costs.
The form of the tower creates plans unique to each of the building functions. A square office plan optimizes leasing depth and matches the urban grid. The cruciform hotel plan shape optimizes room layout. The circular top offers panoramic views of the mountains and water and becomes a beacon on the skyline of the city.
