Site Plan Proposal
Twin Towers 2
Each tower will have a redesigned facade that mimics the same upward flow of columns that the original twin towers had; however the windows will be much larger at 40 inches wide. Each tower will be 500 meters (1515 ft) tall at roof level, nearly taller than the originals. The lobbies will be 6 stories tall and have an onyx-clad elevator core and a recreated balcony. The towers will have a "triple tube design", the first tube being the outer wall/skin, the second tube being the core wall itself, and the third tube being the inner core of the building. This allows for column free floor space and a much stronger structure. The first 60 floors will be office space. The 67th floor sky lobby will open onto a skypark at the bottom of a huge atrium inside the the core of the building. Around the atrium would be executive offices, residences and possibly shops and stores. The atrium in the South Tower would be topped with a large skylight. The North tower atrium would be topped by a refurbished Windows on the World restaurant and on the roof of both towers would be observation decks and possible Top of the World indoor observation deck. The North Tower will feature dual spiral staircases within the ornamental mast reach 1700 feet into the sky. The Towers will have fire relief floors, high capacity escape elevators and five much wider staircases.
