A Harbor Beacon

Sustainable systems and light management are the key elements to this concept for a new Landmark Tower. The goal was to create a singular architectural icon for Dublin's Docklands District. Touching on both industrial and nautical references, the lithe spaceframe structure takes on the character of a ship's sail and would create a ubiquitous presence most notably from a distance.
