With the combination of a cleverly designed prefabricated structure that optimizes interior area and new revolutionary technologies, the tower represents a new type of habitability that could prove extremely useful beyond its current use as a tourist information post and temporary installation. The construct can be built with almost any wood – a potentially 100% renewable resource – and glass, a 100% recyclable material. needing as little as 10 square-meters. for its installation, the three storey vertical tower returns an extremely efficient floor to area ratio as it takes up a very small footprint. its various facade. Screens and panels filter the necessary light which make it adaptable to any location and climate, and although it takes up a minimal area on site, it contains a bathroom, kitchen, dining area, living space, study, bedroom, and a rooftop deck.
