Beijing-based MAD Architects completed Absolute Towers in Mississauga, Ontario.
According to the architects, “Despite its landmark status, the emphasis is not solely on height. Our design features a continuous balcony that surrounds the whole building, eliminating the vertical barriers traditionally used in high rise architecture. The entire building rotates by different degrees at different levels, corresponding with the surrounding scenery. Our aim is to provide 360 degree views for each residential unit, and to get city dwellers in touch with the natural elements and reawaken their appreciation of nature.”

What a stunning example of breaking the mold and coming up with something unique, visually enticing, and something that inspires the question “how did they do that?”
