Thank you.

These designs are only for Fort Worth, but I could make some for Lubbock if I knew the block mesurments and open spaces for those buildings....

I've got 2 or 3 more designs for this thread and then I'll start on the smaller buildings.....

New Building:

Lancaster Arch Twin Towers
397 ft.
23 stories



Residential towers located right next to the Omni.



Walkway with the main entrances to both towers. The Base of the towers feature retail space. There are four red-orange cylinders used for lighting.



The two interlocking arches connecting the buildings.

Comparison



This would be a major area for human activity along the Lancaster Corridor.
As you can see, it's the shortest of all the buildings I've done. And this is intentional, because I wanted this to be more a more human-scale towers (if that makes sense). The arches are what make the towers more unique than any other. It's symbolic of networking and neighborhood interaction that makes Downtown Fort Worth what it is.

BTW, the arches don't look exactly what I want them to look like and the brown part of the buildings aren't all brick, but you get the idea.

Last Building

Sony Tower of Fort Worth
800 ft.
41 stories




It's sleek, all black, and it resmbles a Playstation 3 (just look at it). At the base, it's a garage, with a Sony Megastore on one side and retail space on the other.





Looking at it from street level


Here it is from the top (as you can see the PS3 shape)


Elevation


Comparison



Located on the W. 1st, W. 2nd, and Florence block, this 800 footer is the last of my tallest buildings for Fort Worth (for now anyway...).

It would complete the western part of the skyline. You already know where the inspiration came from. And even if Sony never comes to Fort Worth, I'd still use this design if the chance ever came.


Well, that's it for now.

I'm moving to my next projects (PVAMU's new Football Stadium, and New Buildings for Fort Worth that are 20 floors or less).
Thanks for looking.
