Intoxia Building
Angular balconies edged with reflective steel surround this apartment building in the French city of Nantes , providing occupants on each level with unobstructed views.

A Masow im电竞下载ios Studio has unveiled plans to build a glass house that wraps around a gigantic living tree in the woods of Almaty, Kazakhstan. Reinventing the concept of the treehouse, the home’s circular glass façade envelopes the entire tree to create a place for contemplations and peaceful solitude. The house is to be built using metal columns, plasterboard panels, concrete, wooden flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows. The home’s staircases wind around the tree as if it were the central pillar of the tower.

Dorte Mandrup Abstract Lookout Tower
Visualized as an abstract and sculptural object from afar, the new viewing tower by Copenhagen practice Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter serves as a beacon by the harbor at Aarhus, Denmark. Names ‘The Saiing Tower’, the urban sculpture features a white steel body punctuated by circular perforations. The landmark explores experience through movement and encourages visitors to climb up to an upper platform to enjoy the water and city views. The structure seemingly hovers above the water; its folded geometry referencing its maritime context, while perforations in the steel plated structure serve as viewing ‘portholes’.
