An Australian building firm, Elenberg Fraser has won a plan approval to build a 226-metre-high Melbourne skyscraper that will have the feature of a curvaceous form taken from a music video by music goddess, Beyoncé.
According to architecture firm, a 68-storey skyscraper is confirmed to be built in Melboune, Australia.
The new Premiere tower will be located at 134 Spencer Street and it will boast of a series of curves and bulges designed to make it as structurally efficient as possible but that also reference one of the music videos of Beyoncé.
The firm’s website cites the music video for Beyoncé’s 2013 hit “Ghost” as an influential factor in the structure’s “spiraling curves that recall the twists and turns of a woman dancing in black cloth.”
The shape of the building pays homage to the undulating fabric-wrapped bodies of dancers in the singer’s music video for Ghost, a song which was originally published as one half of track called Haunted but released as a stand-alone music video.
“The complex form, a vertical cantilever is actually the most effective way to redistribute the building’s mass, giving the best results in terms of structural dispersion, frequency oscillation and wind requirements,” the description continues.
Although there’s no confirmed completion date, the Melbourne skyscraper will house 660 apartments, a 160-room hotel and retail stores.
