Home, spiky home - Yanko Design

cactus_big_1

Hostile (read: edgy) looking on the outside, but designed to be equally homely on the inside, the Cactus towers currently being planned in Copenhagen will be home to 500 youth rooms and will also be connected to an IKEA and a 1250 room hotel via its sprawling garden.

The undeniably unique looking towers boast of rooms with balconies and terraces on each floor, while also making sure the buildings become landmarks in themselves. The architects are bolstering forward with the construction, with hopes to have it up and running by 2019!
