Asset 1 fr-01

This mixed-use Blaak Tower totals 715,800 sf (66,500 m2) of residential, commerical, and parking space. Inspired by organic Stibnite formations, the tower's surfaces follow a self-organizing system that balances clear geometric logic with carefully integrated anomalies. These emerge as a series of multi-story sky lobbies that function as semi-public urban spaces and act as "green lungs," supporting biofiltration, natural ventilation, and passive cooling. Designed to achieve LEED Silver certification, the tower incorporates a climate veil facade, solar chimney effect, operable windows, photovoltaics, and solar hot-water systems to reduce energy consumption. Structurally glazed surfaces extend outward to create naturally lit retail, hospitality, and parking areas at the lower levels, establishing a self-sufficient mixed-use environment that operates as its own urban microclimate
