The Orbit Tower is inspired by the planet orbital movements. The unique appearance is achieved by projecting the trajectory lines of different planetary movements on the building. By articulating the areas between the orbit curves, the rhythm and proportion of the façade is enhanced.
In order to highlight the eye-catching effect of the orbit, dichroic color aluminum panels are used to create a delicate flow of light effect, contributing to a unique building with a luminous façade and a landmark effect.
