This sky rise building in the picture above might seem right out of some animator’s mind. This dream 500 foot tall condominium is much more than just another residence. A lot of effort, innovation and dedication to environment have gone into making this building stand apart. One will be surprised to know that almost half of the power used in this tower will actually be generated by the building itself.
How? Well, the designer developer Antonio Escandariof Florida has quite seamlessly and in a unique manner incorporated the power of major elements; sun, wind and water into the design and mad ethem look beautiful like nevr before. Escandri has planned a five floor wind tunnel which will have about 60 small turbines. The solar panels would actually make half the building’s power free. Plans are to add on sustainable features throughout construction and to use recycled building materials and thermally efficient products in the 38 story building. You won’t have to drive down to park your cars, the state of the art underground robotic valet parking system takes care of it all. It is also vouched to be pollution free.
Located across from the Georgia aqaurium this mast shaped condominium compliments the boat shaped aquarium. The Aquarius Tower is first of its kind to show an eco friendly way in Georgia, Atlanta. The extensive use of advanced technology and sustainable features is a mixture that is not common in US. Developers are hopeful to finish this $70 million project by 2010.
