London based Amin Taha Architects set their sights high for their innovative new eco-friendly skyscraper design. Not only does this modern structure incorporate a series of interior gardens, but it also puts the gardens among the clouds within this 130m-high structure. Geared to rise in London’s new Nine Elms Opportunity Area, the Vauxhall Sky Garden building was designed to encourage social interaction and to cultivate micro communities. Within the building, 178 residential units will mingle with two three-storey interior greenspaces covering 2,500m2. The project will be developed by Fraser Properties at a cost of £72 million, with an anticipated completion date of 2012. Amin Taha Architects
