1900 Crystal Drive - Arlington County, USA
The prominent South Tower, one of two newly built residential buildings in National Landing, ‘lights up’ the booming business district with its dynamic design and the impressive colour scheme of the precast façade. Glazed ceramic elements in a warm terracotta shade emphasise the height of the tower as regular vertical pillars and characterise its structure. The organic material recalls the geological and industrial history of the district, which was once home to numerous bricks factories. The winding Potomac River inspired the curved shape of the building, making it a unique eye-catcher.
