Article source: LYCS Architecture Writhing Tower, is a LYCS designed SkyCondo for one of the most beautiful residential zones in Lima, is a globalarchitectural competition initiated by ARQUIA, an international developmentfirm interested in commissioning architecture as art. Each unit is rotated 45 degrees to create acruciform shape in plan and the appearance of a linear hinged volume. Itenables each unit to have uninterrupted views to both the public park in frontof the site, and the ocean to the rear of the site. Additionally, each unit hasblocked views to the unit above and below it, so as to create extra privacy.Each unit is a two-story townhouse, with a terrace for a garden with trees, anda pool with a deck.

Due to the uniqueness of the geometric playin the overall tower form, each terrace is able to receive the tropicalsunshine and breeze. The metal hypar that connects the second floor plate tothe underside of the unit above projects the user’s view out from the structuredue to the way that the smooth surface blends the two box geometries.Consequently, the hinged volume takes on the appearance of being twisted fromunit to unit, up the structure. A mesh triangle is added to provide additionalsun protection and synthetic connection to the hypar form. The project is an experimentation ofcontemporary design tendencies, henceforth standing out for its uniqueness inregards to the traditional or substandard urban tissue of Lima, Peru.
