Eco Factor: Sustainable tower designed featuring public garden and a sky deck.
The Castle in the Sky is a concept tower proposal by Paris-based Atelier Ramdam Architects to be constructed in Latina, Italy. The slender architecture has been designed to create rain from vaporized water.
The infiltration system constitutes the water tower’s semi-buried base. Access to the reservoir opens up the first walkway from the street to the underground, which also includes a pond. The tower is clad in highly reflective stainless steel which makes the foot of the reservoir appear as if it’s not there.
Vaporization occurs on the rooftop of the tower, where visitors also discover a terrace for festivities with the spirit of a dance hall. A ramp has been designed which makes its way around the reservoir. This is the place where precipitation and hence rain occurs.
