Highrise Features Glass Pool Balconies

All photos: James Law Cybertecture

jameslawcybertecture.comJames Law of James Law Cybertecture International designed Parinee Ism in India which features individual glass pool balconies.

The design concept of the tower is inspired by the ripple effect generated by water droplets, which is also known as the capillary wave. The outline of the tower demonstrates the fluidity and dynamic nature of the ripple and can be conceived as an abstract representation of the symbol Ohm (Ω).

The ripple effect usually generates a vortex-like space in the center. The tower design is trying to recapture the essence of this space by creating a large void in the middle along with a special designed clubhouse form which opens to reveal a dancefloor.
