cool letters that double as potential furniture, depending on how you use them. Even cooler is that the back has storage.
Lilium Tower in Warsaw by Zaha Hadid
Zaha Hadid Architects are having a busy day: the second project the office has announced today is Lilium Tower, a 250m tower for Warsaw in Poland.
The project follows the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, which was unveiled a few hours ago.
The Lilium Tower, the winning design for a proposed addition to the Warsaw skyline has been announced by the client. The design is a light, transparent structure with a strong sense of identity and character.
Rising to a height of 250 meters, the tower’s slender form complements the Palace of Culture and other towers nearby, creating its own distinctive profile within an emerging cluster of tall buildings. The tower has a gross area of 130 000m2 consisting of luxury residential apartments and an apartment hotel.Blue Condo, NYC
Architect Bernard Tschumi’s Blue condominium tower located on the Lower East Side, New York. Designed with an original envelope pattern sets the structure apart from surrounding buildings, thus adding a bit of an eclectic attitude to a normally dreary skyline. I guess it looks better in the architect’s rendering as shown below.
With a mosaic façade that reflects the surrounding city, while blending into the sky above, are evidence to Tschumi’s attention to detail in his designing of the building.
Each of the residential interiors is simple, yet elegant in design, with bamboo or palm flooring, stone counters and tile, stainless steel appliances and cabinets. There are only 32 condominiums, and the view at the top units are breathtaking. If you want one of them, hurry up!
