Vicco’s tower is a lightweight timber tower on an asymmetric steel stiletto designed for Norwegian artist A K Dolven. The design frames specific views and creates particular qualities of light in each space. From the study, a ‘panorama’ window frames the garden as a landscape. A double height vertical glass slot shows a London Plane — one of the original avenue planted by the Georgians. A horizontal slot at bath height allows a very private contemplation of the garden and above the sky. In a dense urban environment, nature gains in focus and beauty: architecture as lens.
