Default New Building Tree Trunk project in France Giving everyone outside space




Montpellier's tradition of outdoor living.


This is due to be built by 2017



http://www.dezeen.com/2014/03/10/sou...odern-follies/


[The building will feature a curved body
reminiscent of a tree trunk, while the balconies
of its 120 apartments are designed
to fan outwards like leaves seeking sunlight.
Homes will face different directions,
allowing future residents to select the
orientations that best suit their lifestyles.]

This was reported on CNBC Businees



That would make a great TIBB Tower

It looks like a landing pad for a drunk Saudi prince.

Wouldn't it be very windy up there, what if you get blown off in your garden? (don't be cheap)

Looks great there with the sun shining on it. Picturing it in twenty years time on a gloomy day, it's going to look like something out of Bladerunner.

seriously, you have no privacy on those balconies. you've got lindssay lohan throwing bongs at you from one side, and amanda bynes pooping on you from the other side. it's a nightmare.

It's the worst building ever Arista!

it makes Trump Tower look classy.

I have to agree, it looks awful. The lower balconies will be in shade most of the time and in general the design just gives me a headache! The view from the very top balcony will probably be amazing, though.

We would put you on a high level flat.


And the Sun moves all around it.
