Unique in shape and colour, the slim tower is a landmark in central London and, with its 27 storeys, offers a spectacular view of the city. The slender silhouette stands on a triangular base. Inside are high-quality living spaces, each with a rectangular layout. The façade design is also remarkable: vertically mounted, fluted ceramic elements in an expressive semitransparently applied turquoise-green underscore […]

Despite this, the staggered, graduated design still manages to create a sense of tension and excitement. The façade materials that are used follow a clear pattern: profiled,
