Continuing themes first explored in the Tokyo Millennium Tower, this project extends the practice’s investigation into the nature of the tall building, taking structural, functional, environmental and urban logic to a new level. At 600 metres high, with 118 occupied floors, it will be the tallest naturally ventilated tower in the world and one of the greenest new buildings in Europe.
