helix_3
A super contemporary hotel in Abu Dhabi.....Of course! Architectural concept by Leeser Architects.
It doesn't have floors -- instead it spirals in sections of a corkscrew from top to bottom with no clear breaks, flowing from retail to residential, and hotel suites to saunas. The hollow center keeps foot traffic flowing while infusing interior spaces with coastal air and natural light, while on the outside GROW panels are fast at work harnessing solar and wind energy.
