The sculptural form of this 24-story tower echoes its purpose as a creative space for artists to live and work. The translucent facade allows for expansive windows that both maximize natural light and offer diverse views of the city, creating inspiring and visually stimulating environments for the residents. In the tower’s core, the colored floor plates serve as both a navigational aid and a vibrant focal point, reflecting the building’s creative energy. Colorful balconies further enhance the exterior, offering private outdoor spaces that extend the living and working area, while adding to the building’s visual identity.
