Perfected with exquisite architecture, French architect Jean Nouvel has illustrated his artistic brilliance once again.Not so long ago, Nouvel had put forward his plans for this building, but due to government issues back in 2008. Recently, Nouvel's plans for the One Central Park has been accepted.
Located in the former site of a brewery, the two building site will house 563 luxurious apartments above six retail and recreation podium. Of the two towers, the eastern tower will feature a heliostat, comprised of motorized mirrored panels, whose function is to capture sunlight, and to direct it to retail atrium and landscaped terraces. To add to the excitement, the heliostat will theatrically exhibit colourfully illuminated towers. This feature was designed by lighting artist, Yann Kersale.
Botaniclly inspired, Nouvel teamed up with botantist, Patric Blanc to design the wonderous green facade. The green facade is composed of green boxes and vertical wires incorporated into the loggias creating a green shell of plants.
This building will be due for completion this December.
