DIALOG is collaborating with the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) of Copenhagen and New
York on this 59-storey new mixed-use tower project in Calgary.
Beyond its cultural ambitions the tower is shaped by ideas about its occupants.
The TELUS Sky Tower is designed to seamlessly accommodate the transformation
from working to living. The facade has curves on two different arcs at the point
where the building changes from office to residential. The large floor plates for
workplaces recede to achieve the slender dimensions of residential floor depths.
The exterior texture of the building expresses this transition with smooth glass
enclosing the 15 floors of office space and evolves to a 3 dimensional composition
