Alliance Tower
Alliance Tower is a premier office tower design conceived in 2006 when I sketched the concept on a peice of paper in one of my high school classes. I even made a quick model then, but this summer, I decided to test my 3d Studio skills and turn it into a real architectural visualization.
The tower is 42 stories and 144m high. It features a three storey, circular lift hall sheathed in glass, with a radiant pattern of light wells to fully naturally illuminate the interior of the space. The spire tapers geometrically, inspired by the layers and petals of a flower. Most of the usable floor space is within a few metres of a window, with great views from any spot in the tower.
I learned a couple cool things while doing this project. Number 1, glass curtain walls look great in the model when all the hardware (support lattice, etc) is included. Number 2, it is hard to get a good feel for the services (elevators/stairs) needed for the tower; I think I may have overdone the number of elevators.
