FEATURES

•The pillars of the house are not one

above the other; the loads from individual
strands of columns are diverted via wall
panels, and the building is largely braced
by the stairwell and elevator core.
•The tower is partly cooled by vacuum
collectors on the roof, which convert solar
radiation into cold by means of a heat
exchanger and distribute it over the house.
• There are also solar collectors on the
roof which, within their capacity, supply
the building with energy for heating
