“The tower is defined by its dynamic, folding façade which, as it grows upward, has up to sixteen sides. The distinctive form is the result of its design inspiration, the strandkorb basket chairs commonly seen on the blustery beaches of Germany. These chairs can be folded and transformed to best adapt to the weather and shield beach-goers from the wind. The design team at Studio Hang translates this human-scale precedent onto its residential tower, so that outdoor terraces and patios can be enjoyed throughout Toronto’s windiest seasons.”
