This 21-Story Tower Has 104 Green Balconies Inspired by Gaudi - Yanko Design

The façade takes direct inspiration from Antoni Gaudí's mosaic techniques, wrapping white ceramic tiles of varying sizes around flowing curves. Larger pieces cover flat surfaces while finer, granular patterns smooth out tighter bends. This careful choreography maintains continuity across every undulation, creating a sculptural presence that shifts in the light and glows against the surrounding commercial blocks. The Island earns its name through sheer commitment to greenery.
