Icarus VII

Icarus VII - an example of a "mid-height" office
building.  Structures in this scale tend to
have two wings with a central core joining them.
This building boasts a glass atrium open from the
lobby to the top floor.   The building frame is
entirely free-standing with the outer skin serving
only to enclose the space and not adding any
structural benefit.

Rear facade - the blue-and
red section in the middle is the
central elevator core..
