Tower of Power!

Well ... not exactly Tower of Power but it looks quite magnificent at it's height. As I had presented earlier during the week, it was meant to be a tree-like structure; taking into consideration the technological background of our client, I kept the form (trunk and branches) of the tree and gave it a futuristic twist to it.


Doesn't look too tall from here eh? Distance is deceiving. Don't mind the Bob outfit =P

The tower consists of a central tube which contains a high speed elevator that ferries guests up and down the tower. The reception room leads to the entrance of the tower so guests would have to be cleared through Jeane and Sally first. Encircling the tube is a metallic ramp or otherwise known as The Stairway to Heaven which allows guests to walk up or down at their own pace taking in the magnificent views from various levels. I admit the ramp can be quite scary to walk on as I've tried my best to make it less steep from the initial design. I might also consider making railings just to make it a more secure walk. I'll let a couple of pictures further elaborate here ;)


As you can see from this image, it is very very tall and has a spectacular view of the entire island. This is one of the pink extensions on the upper levels.


And right on top is our relaxation heaven (pun intended hehe) aptly named Icy Heaven as it sits nicely in the clouds (the not too dense region) giving it a top-of-the-world feel to it.

Ok, if you noticed there are these pink extension from the main tower which are the branches. These lead to conference rooms or other rooms that are on the same level. Also, the pink under-layer used gives my fellow team mates the flexibility to expand on any level yet keeping the consistency of the colour and overall theme.
