Sunset Tower is an impressive obelisk shaped office tower that is located in a hot and arid location. The design of the building is inspired by ancient Egyptian structures, with a tapering form and a tapered top. The structure is highly efficient with an open floor plan that maximizes space utilization. The building also features an energy-efficient curtain wall system that helps to reduce energy consumption.
In addition, the Sunset Tower incorporates a geothermal system for cooling, which is highly efficient and environmentally friendly. The tower has a large mechanical subfloor near the middle of the structure, which boosts its energy efficiency even further.
The base of the building features conference spaces, meeting rooms, and other commercial amenities, making it an ideal space for a large corporate tenant.
The Sunset Tower is a conceptual project that showcases the potential for sustainable and efficient design in hot and arid locations. Its impressive obelisk shape makes it a striking addition to the skyline, while its energy-efficient systems and open floor plan make it an ideal space for modern businesses. Overall, the Sunset Tower is a testament to the power of innovative design and sustainable building practices.
