Facade Retrofit

RIFT TOWER

Ice and fire represent the two elements to characterise the new design of the Rift Tower facade. The building is conceived and designed as a glass enclosure crossed by a neat longitudinal cut, with strong evocative power. The configuration of the structure simulates an ice volcano.

Throughout the vertical cut, black metal plates cross the whole tower and, resembling solidified lava, come off the facade and define the changing form of the frontal terracing.
