Beach + Howe Tower by big architects


A slender base forms the nine storey podium which vertically clears the road and traffic, ultimately widening into the 600 unit residential tower which hovers above the zone of pollution and noise. 
Shopping, retail and working spaces are accessible by the public plaza which pedetriansmay circulate freely under the large concrete supports. 
As the profile widens, the internal floor area is reclaimed and views to the ocean and surrounding mountains are revealed.
