The UK based, Kettle Collective architects is to build the world’s second tallest skyscraper in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Named the Lakhta Center II, would feature a twisting form that reaches a dizzying height of 703 m (2,306 ft).
"The tower is born out of a daring idea that has been inspired by the energy in all of its forms, from helical waves generated around deep space quasars to the spirals of wave energy. The outer layer of the building is created from spiralling columns that form an open organic helical diagrid, while the structure is carved out by a series of spiral atriums shared with vertical public spaces."
At present, China’s ‘Shanghai Tower’ holds the record for the world’s second-tallest skyscraper with an impressive 632m (2,073 ft).
And the original Lakhta Center, which rises to a maximum height of 462 m (1,516 ft) in St. Petersburg is considered the tallest in Europe. It was designed by Kettle Collective's Tony Kettle back when he worked at RMJM (it was then completed by Gorproject), and the Lakhta Center II would be situated nearby.
Elaborating on the architecture, the Lakhta Center II's twisting form and spire-like tip reference Saint Petersburg's famous church spires and is designed to reduce the crushing wind loads buildings face at such heights.
The megatall would consist of 150 floors and its top floor would be at a height of roughly 590 m (1,935 ft), making it the highest occupied floor and viewing point in the world – even higher than the Burj Khalifa's which is the tallest skyscraper in the world at 829.8 m (2,723 ft).
The tower's interior layout would include office space, residential areas, and amenities, with triple-height atriums and green spaces breaking up the monotony of all that steel and glass.
The project is still in the early design phase.
"The new Lakhta Center will be a template of sustainable design for global high-rise projects."
