Of all naturally occurring heavenly phenomena, few come close to a night with a magnificent northern lights display. Flickering curtains of dancing light against the dark skies, northern lights is certainly one of the most spectacular of nature’s phenomena.

Inspired by this magical experience, we set about creating an icon that would echo the spectacle of such a sight… we call it “Tower of Lights”.

“Tower of Light”… a building as:

•  Urban Icon:
  • Addressing City through a pristine & contemporary form
  • Uniform response to City in all directions
  • Ready to engage multiple influences
  
  
• Urban insertion:
  • Addressing scale & fabric of old vs new City
  • Sky gardens continue urban experience
  
  
• Environmental filter:
  • Filtered box
  • Environmentally responsive “skin”
  • Activity filter
  • Greening of building
