VANCOUVER
Artistic rendering of The Butterfly – the redevelopment at First Baptist Church in downtown Vancouver .
Possibly the most intriguing of all is a striking residential project that is sure to become a key pinnacle of the downtown peninsula ’ s maturing skyline .
At 178.6 metres , which upon completion will make it the third tallest tower in Vancouver proper , is The Butterfly .
Designed by Bing Thom Architects , this elegant tower will abut against the timeless First Baptist Church . Inspired by the refined yet imposing curves of a church organ , the Butterfly stretches towards the sky in four cylindrical sections , complete with swooping scallops at the base .
