Terracing Trio

Idea projektu

The project consists of three towers, each distinct in function but connected in materiality and character. The terracing of each tower pays homage to the architectural language of stepping back present within Detroit’s early skyscrapers. These terraces also create spaces on which people may rest, work, play and live.

Popis projektu

At the ground level, a bridge links all three towers to the broader city, allowing people to move from Downtown to the waterfront, while traversing through the Terracing Trio.

Technické informace

The presence of an outdoor theatre, dining terraces, galleries, a museum, and multiple other functions, all aim to activate the site and to revive the hustle and bustle of street life that once characterised life in Detroit.
