This was designed by Bang+Olufsen right?;)

I think this is a beautiful building. A lot of construction in London now.

Fantastic news |
that has to be one of the coolest around 100 meter towers ever.
and the garden on top is an amazing idea will probably become a very popular spot i really like the design |
Kind of looks like a giant old school electric razor. I like it. :tup:

The thread title needs to be changed.....
This tower is 160m....not 116m. |
