Viewing Tower in Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica.
The project is located in Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. The brief is to design a viewing tower which can sustainably sit well in the site without imposing itself. The concept used to design the tower is an elevated circular path which will initiate panoramic movements making viewer to go around the path hence getting a 360 degree view of the forest. The elevated circular path is supported by 3 blocks. All the blocks have vertical circulation. 2 for the blocks have staircases as vertical circulation and one of the block has elevator which will be used by the paraplegic people. The block with the elevator has sleeping units which will bring more revenue to the tower. All the sleeping units have big windows for viewing the forest when using the spaces.
