Vancouver, British Columbia

This eye-catching new tower stands like an origami obelisk at the intersection of Vancouver's two city grids. The architectural sunshades on the residential tower's south and west facades are an iconic feature, lending both practicality and a unique identity to the building. The distinctive origami-like screens were inspired by the nautical surroundings – seagulls and seaplanes in Coal Harbour and the hang-gliders that can be seen catapulting off Grouse Mountain in the distance. #awesomepic #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches
