There's a new tower in London




While the name of this project designed by 6a Architects, the Hairywood Tower, may seem a bit perverse, it’s actually inspired by Les Vacances Des Monsieur Hulot by Jacques Tati. Tati built a tower for the movie so its heroine could be filmed looking out the bay window overlooking the beach. Thus the sense of separate yet intimate, like being 20 feet above the bustle of London streets, was translated in the design of the Hairywood Tower.
