The Draken tower is set to become a new icon in our cityscape. Its design is a sleek departure from the traditional architecture that usually defines a city’s profile. With its cylindrical shape, the tower is engineered to stand out when seen from the harbor, inviting curiosity and engagement. The perforated exterior is not just for show; it's a functional element that brings the building to life with patterns of light and shadow, promising a striking visual dialogue with the city around it.

At night, the design's true potential comes to light, quite literally, as the backlighting turns the tower into a luminous landmark. This feature ensures that the Draken is more than a daytime spectacle—it’s a nocturnal presence that adds vibrancy to the urban landscape. In its entirety, the tower’s design is a bold step forward, embodying the city’s growth and forward-thinking attitude. It’s a structure that looks to serve as a gathering point, a visual cue in the city’s fabric, and a signpost of modernity.

With the Draken Tower, we are not just building a facility; we’re crafting a part of the city’s identity—a distinctive feature that will be as functional as it is visually compelling.
