DESCRIPTION
A 24-storey commercial tower with a facetted glass envelope.
Prism Tower is the first triangulated office high-rise in the region. The diagrid facade rotates two degrees per floor, generating a continuous spiral of triangular panels. The result is a structure that reads as a single carved prism reflecting and refracting the changing sky.
The brief asked for a building that would mediate its site while also asserting a clear geometric identity. Our response was a single irreducible figure repeated at three scales: an outer envelope, an inner volume and a hand-held detail. Every element of Prism Tower traces its proportion back to that single triangle.
