Curves & Lines

This tower is one of my favorite new buildings in town, designed by British architect Norman Foster. It's an office and condo, with some pretty interesting curved rooms. The old building next door was previously seen in my blog as construction was starting next door.

 

 

The red brick building was completely suspended in the air while the underground parking was excavated beneath it. The parking is a fully automated system, where you drive your car onto a platform, and then it is taken away, and tucked into a cubby-hole. When you want to leave, you swipe your parking card, and your car is brought to you. This allows for a lot more cars than if you had to have ramps and drive aisles.

Another building across the street has some nice contrast.
