Currently on hold, this is a delightful apartment tower designed by Herzog & de Meuron. 145 residences across 57 floors, the series of cantilevers and overhangs, especially on the uppermost floors, gives it a playful quality that belies its size, resembling perhaps a tower of building blocks from an ambitious young giant. (Mind you, I'd love to see that upper section repeated all the way down)
