Kaktus Towers, Copenhagen

Kaktus Towers, Kalvebod Brygge, Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (B.I.G). Two towers at 100 and 80 meters tall respectively. Close to 500 balconies distributed between the floors of the towers explain the ‘Kaktus’ designation of these semi-futuristic buildings.

The opening of IKEA’s rooftop terrace has made photos from new angles possible, including ones sectioning out more round, organic shapes when the pointed structures of each tower leads towards the other’s.
