ALLOY 1 MIXED USE TOWER, CINCINNATI, OH
DEVELOPING THE URBAN CORE
2004

Designed as an icon in the often grey and monotonous landscape of the urban core this tower, (a further development of the design direction established in the U2 tower), is a dynamic mix of clear and translucent glass, mirror finished stainless panels, concrete and stone rising to a height of over nine hundred feet to the top of the microwave tower array. Highlighted by beautiful nighttime illumination to become a beacon of renaissance at night as well as during the day. A fresh perspective on the power of an exuberant architecture combines with an intelligent urban planning to bring together a multi use development with all the amenities required to create a humane, magnetic and enjoyable downtown destination.

The fifty story tower, shown here in the skyline of Cincinnati, Ohio combines on street parking with urban mall retail plus a beautiful water park, commercial offices, restaurants, nightclub, coffee bars, hotel and conference centers. Community auditorium and sky-gardens are located mid way up the primary shaft. Along with this flexible group of amenities and elegant and highly functional solution to the volume parking problem has been found in the design of the multi story deck that forms the visual base for the tower.

A celebration of verticallity, a dramatic upward thrust, a redefinition of the geometry of the tall building.
