Skidmore, Owings and Merrill are among the most ambitious and accomplished architects of the past 100 years. Their previous buildings include Sears Tower in Chicago and the Lever House building in Manhattan – the most elegant, perfect skyscraper ever constructed. Next on the agenda for SOM, the most famous building in the world: New York’s Freedom Tower. Baltimore is an iconic, ingenious residential masterpiece – a harmonious blend of different textures and styles, from classic brick to futurist quartz. SOM’s design juxtaposes the low rise linear components with a stunning cylindrical high-rise tower, that twists around its own axis; a shifting, hypnotic, rhythmical crystal, light and steel hourglass structure. Floor to ceiling glass- fronted apartments are structured around the Avenue, an expansive modern interpretation of the European boulevard: a serene inner space balanced by angular landscaping, with a line of sculptural black monoliths turned into liquid mirrors by a surface of constantly cascading water. Baltimore’s central boulevard, overlooked by private glass-walled balconies, stems from a seven-storey portal by the docks, a dramatic, geometric aperture with a constellation of stars from the northern skies glowing within its roof.

Just look at the soaring elegance of Pan Peninsula’s two towers and sharply focused Ontario Tower and you’ll understand that. Both developments have now become established as essential ingredients of the Docklands skyline. And Docklands is the home of the high rise, where the buildings compete to out dazzle each other as they reach for the sky. So where better for Ballymore to raise the bar again in the high rise stakes than at Baltimore. Here to punctuate the low and mid rise elements of the development and add a visual anchor to the form, Ballymore have planned a jaw dropping focal point. A stunning forty seven storey cylindrical tower that appears to defy gravity by twisting a helix coil around its axis. A hypnotic shifting crystal of glass that’s destined to be a new London landmark and potential Sterling prize winner.
