Architecture: Aqua Tower

Photobucket


At 82 stories and over 1.9 million square feet, Aqua Tower is one of few high-rises in the world that creates a community on its façade. The building is home to a hotel, apartments, condominiums, parking, offices, and one of Chicago’s largest green roofs.  Its outdoor terraces — which differ in shape from floor to floor based on criteria such as views, solar shading and dwelling size — create a strong connection to the outdoors and the city and give the tower a distinctive undulating appearance.
