Eco Factor: Sustainable tower harvests solar and wind energy.
The Spiral Tower is a proposal for a sustainable residential tower for Berlin. The eco tower features apartments stacked in opposite directions in a criss-cross pattern that leaves ample open spaces for garden terraces. The design allows each apartment to have its own private garden terrace as well.
The garden terraces are lined with pathways which allow for neighborhood interaction, which is much more difficult in a traditional apartment tower. The Spiral Tower aims to provide a green community which is powered sustainably by renewable energy. The tower features solar panels, wind turbines and several water recollection and purification systems that reduce the tower’s ecological footprint.
