๐๏ธ๐ Vancouver House: A Triangular Triumph by BIG ๐งโ๏ธโจ
Perched at Vancouverโs gateway ๐ช, Vancouver House rises where the Granville Bridge ๐ splits into a trio of roadsโa once-unused triangle of land ๐. When Westbank tasked Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) with designing a tower here, they faced constraints: 30m bridge setback ๐ง Shadow rules to protect nearby parks ๐ณ A site too tiny to build on ๐ฑ! Architectural Alchemy ๐งช๐๏ธ BIGโs solution? Grow upwards, then outwards ๐ฑ! The tower starts slim, then fans out like a genie escaping a bottle ๐งโ๏ธ๐จ once it clears the 30m mark. The result? A sculptural marvel that responds to its environment ๐ฟโbridges, water, and mountains frame every view! Sustainability + Style ๐๐ LEED Platinum-certified ๐: Eco-friendly materials, energy efficiency, and green spaces. Public art under the bridge ๐จ: Transforms a dull underpass into a cultural hub. Vancouver House = Vancouverโs green heart โค๏ธ๐ฑโproving sustainability and skyscrapers can coexist! ๐ Fast Facts: ๐ Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada ๐ Year: 2020 ๐จ๐จ Architect: Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) #VancouverSkyline #SustainableArchitecture #UrbanDesign #BIGArchitects
