THE THREE AMIGOS TEAM: 29758 Apartment Tower: 125 meters Offi ce Tower: 89.6 meters Public roof terrace with a restaurant and a cafe Public roof terrace with a restaurant All buildings are placed so they can see both Detroit city as well as Detroit River Public terrace with trees on the roof of the leisure area Looking Up Toward The Buildings The Three Amigos The story behind the three amigos is one of friendship. Even though the buildings con- tain different programs they share many similarities. All are clad in metal sheets in a copper colored RAL which give them similar expression. The balconies and railings are clad in a champagne colored RAL which contrasts with the copper and give the area a sense of dignity. The buildings are all in some way related to the history of Detroit and its sprawling landscape of different skyscrapers - all from the David Stott Building, Ally Detroit Center and Renaissance Center. The buildings share colors and materials, but their expression is meant to express the evolution of the skyscraper, which Detroit is such a good example of. All from the vaulted windows in the hotel, to the austere apart- ment complex to the more modern tradition of the offi ce building. In this way they share different subjects but are also have their own personality - just like the three amigos. In the center of the complex there is a leisure complex which reaches the intended SQM and there is a common roof terrace that the buildings share which connect them. In the center of the leisure complex there is skylight coming in from the extruded fl oor but the- re is also a lot of framing around the sides giving the building lights from all directions. Skybridge to the park over the current road There is tress planted along the side of two of the buildings to connect with the park on Hotel Tower: 78.8 meters the other side of the road which can be reached by the skybridge that extrudes over the Public plaza with cafes in the road. On the hotel side there are a paved area with a textured brick that give the plaza sun outside of the hotel a perfect space for cafés and the like, but also letting the restau- rant reach out. The offi ce and the hotel also have public restaurants and bars at the tops which gives Isometric Perspective Over The Area 1:500 (A1) the whole city access to the sprawling Detroit city center as well as the Canadian city of Windsor..
