Description
Aqua - Its always nice to start the day with a bit of aqua.... Auqa is a 86 story mixes use building in the Lakeshore East area of downtown, built 2007-9. It is the tallest building in the city and in fact the world designed by a female architect, Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects. It gets its name from the fact its is in an area called lakeshore and because of the wave like balconies. Fun fact: The very striking balconies were designed by Gang to look like rocky lime stone outcrops oftern seen in the great lakes area. However they do also serve several purposes. Because of the design Gang was able to extend some balconies up to 12 feet from the building giving the residents better views of the city, they also are designed to provide maximum solar shade to help with cooling. Additionally some are also used to collect rain fall for the water recycling system. The building also has one of the largest green roofs in the city.
