If you took Herzog & de Meuron‘s so-called “Jenga Tower” in New York City and combined it with NBBJ‘s so-called “Jenga Tower” in Cleveland, you would have something resembling Büro Ole Scheeren‘s proposed residential tower in Vancouver, which, sure, kind of looks like a game of Jenga.

The firm’s first North America project would land at 1500 West Georgia Street in Downtown Vancouver and rise 48 stories. The tower, with its cantilevering volumes, is intended to break up the monotony of the city’s glassy skyline which the firm summed up as “extrusions of generic towers that don’t engage their environment and create isolation rather than connection.”

To change that, the tower has a unique massing that is supposedly intended to free up space at the street level for things like a public plaza and an “amplified reinterpretation” of the site’s existing water feature. Unspecified “renewable energy sources” stuck into the building’s crown would provide 100 percent of the power for these public amenities, helping the building hit its LEED Platinum target.

The project is still in its early days as Ole Scheeren and Francl Architecture have only recently sent a letter of inquiry to the city about the redevelopment, which is being developed by Bosa Properties.
