GREEN GRAPES DESCRIPTION
The skyscraper is called GREEN GRAPES.
GG is 181m-tall and consists of 80 glass spheres forming a cylinder.
The cylinder’s external diameter is 62,3m.
Inside the cylinder of spheres there is an internal court.
Each sphere touches neighbouring spheres in 4 points only.
Each sphere is 18m-tall and its diameter is 19,3m.
In an internal court there is a communication core with 4 car lifts, 4 passenger lifts, 5 emergency stairs and parking plots.
Every car lift is supported by a cantilever attached to a column. Car lifts go up/down and rotate in order to deliver cars to parking plots in front of each flat doors.The car lift diameter is 6m.
Car lifts can be used also to transport ambulances, firemen’ vehicles, etc.
In each sphere there are 2 three-floor flats.
The lower flat has 220m2, the upper flat has 280m2. Each flat has a kitchen, a living room, a dinning room, a family room, 4 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an entrance hall and round stairs connecting flat’s levels.The stairs’ diameter is 3m.
Each flat has its own 2-floor-tall garden with big palm trees and 2m-deep swimming pool.
The lower flat garden has 64,4m2, the upper flat garden has 107m2.
The upper flats pools have spherical, glass walls visible on GG facade.
All GG gardens have large, glass, sliding doors for fresh air access.In front of each flat doors there is a 2-post parking plot.
GG entrances and exits for pedestrians are on the ground floor.
GG entrances for vehicles are on the ground floor while vehicles’ exits are on the underground floor.
On 3 underground levels there are parking plots for visitors, shops, restaurants, night bars, discos and sports spaces.
The GG structure is very strong:
1.Spheres slabs are supported by 1m-thick, round, reinforced concrete walls.
2.All sphere slabs are reinforced concrete, 30cm-thick cantilevers.
3.Reinforced concrete, 20cm-thick walls and slabs of ONE sphere form a very strong „cage”, together with frames holding the sphere glass.
4.The communication core of GG is supported by large, reinforced concrete columns.
5.Reinforced concrete columns and slabs of the communication core join the GG structure, making it very stable.
In GG there are 160 flats and 40,000m2 habitable surface.About 1,300 inhabitants can live there.
Because there are 5 emergency stairs, the building is VERY SAFE in case of fire.
The communication core has no ventilation channels, because there is no need for them.So the building is MUCH CHEAPER then „normal”, box-like skyscraper.
In files there are: GG facade, GG facade fragment, ground floor, level +3m plan, level +6m plan, level +9m plan, lower flat plan, upper flat plan, GG main section.
I am a civil engineer, construction supervisor and self-taught architect.
I am looking for an investor interested in building GG. I am open for serious proposals.
