Description from the architects.<\/em> The new Nile Tower is designed as a gracious volume that elegantly borders the Nile River in the heart of Cairo.<\/p>

The Tower has a height of 300m. The main structural elements of this 70 storey hotel and apartment tower are concrete fi n walls that rotate gently over the full height of the tower.\u00a0The gradual rotation of the fin walls generates a wide selection of orientations for the hotel rooms and apartments. These fin walls are reflected on\u00a0the external fa\u00e7ade, giving the tower its dynamic appearance.<\/p>

On the west side \u2013 overlooking the river – the tower bulges out at the upper floors to maximize the views from hotel rooms and apartments. On\u00a0the east side the tower is pulled out as a triangle on the lower floors to offer maximum stability. These opposite extensions make the overall tower\u00a0seemingly lean over towards the Nile.<\/p>

While enhancing the perspective when looking up from the foot of the tower this geometry also makes the tower seem in motion. This seeming rotation\u00a0is further enhanced by emphasizing the diagonals running along the north and south facades. The fa\u00e7ade geometry on the west fa\u00e7ade culminates\u00a0at the lower levels in a volume overhanging the road towards the river, housing the common program of the tower. At the foot of the tower, the\u00a0fa\u00e7ade drapes down over the large column free space next to the tower footprint where it forms a continuous glass plaza. A high quality contribution\u00a0to the east bank of the Nile, The Nile Tower also forms a valuable addition to the skyline of Cairo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
