BelView Tower / COOP HIMMELB(L)AU

May 28, 2022 Collin Chen 0

Designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au, the BelView Tower is located close to Vienna’s main train station and prominently adjacent to the Schweizergarten in the Quartier Belvedere Central. The residential tower is designed as a flowing monolithic structure of the organic, amoeba-like form. The perimeter parapet bands of white, powder-coated aluminum panels that essentially wrap around the entire building contour are interrupted in certain zones according to different environmental factors, such as wind, sound, and light exposure. This generates a differentiated facade design with opaque and glazed, linear, and dot-shaped balcony elements.
