The tower building
As an architectural organic sculpture the tower building grows out of the ground by approximately 127 meters and will be exactly half the height of the Great Belt Bridge’s 254-meter-high pylons. With such a tower height, there is room for 38-40 floors and basement floor. The round tower building will have a diameter of approximately 147 meters and a ground area of approximately 15,900m². A viewing platform will be established at the top of the tower with a view to the Great Belt Bridge, Korsør town
and a large part of West Zealand.
By letting the paving stone continue from the surrounding natural landscape and up along the facade, the builing appears to be growing out the ground. Furthermore, nature enters the interior foyer with walls lined with plant vegetation and natural stone as well as running streams under the glass floor via. digital monitors.
The roof shape is inspired by and drawn in the shape of a leaf with a stem that springs from the rainwater basin in the terrain. The roof has a function as a rainwater collector and from the rainwater basins the water flows along narrow channels to small oases with plant variation and basins with goldfish. When the rainwater falls, the building will appear as a living sculptural work of water art, with the rainwater running from the “stalk” of the roof surface and down into the basins around the building.
