The Phoenix Towers are being designed by
London-based Chetwoods Architects in partnership with the HuangYan Group. The project will consist of two buildings, representing the male and female dualistic aspects of Chinese culture. The taller tower, Feng, will have about 100 floors for residential living, offices and retail space. The slightly smaller Huang tower, named after the family, will contain "the world's tallest garden", proposed by the Huangs. The towers will be constructed on an island in a lake, covering a site. The buildings will be constructed on a steel superstructure with concrete cores and buttresses. The exterior will be covered in
solar panels. The towers will incorporate
green energy technologies including wind, solar, thermal,
biomass boilers and
hydrogen fuel cells. ==References==
