The Tower takes the form of nine cylinders stacked one above the other for a total of 128 floors, enclosed by an internal layer of glass that will develop along the facade.
The various layers wind along an uphill path, giving life to 9 internal areas that will have special spaces for visitors. Each of these 9 areas will consist of its own atrium furnished with gardens, cafes, restaurants, and commercial spaces, offering a breathtaking 360 ° view of the city.
