Completed · Residential · High-Rise Residential Tower · Temperate · 2021

A 57-storey residential tower in Brooklyn featuring a parametrically derived fluted concrete facade that simultaneously acts as structural shear walls, reducing material use while improving seismic and wind performance. The facade geometry was optimised using computational analysis.

Innovation highlights

• parametrically optimised fluted concrete facade doubling as structural shear walls
• computational fluid dynamics used to shape exterior for wind mitigation
• facade geometry reduces concrete volume versus conventional shear wall system
• integrated structural and architectural system reducing construction sequence
