Strata SE1, Residential skyscraper in Elephant and Castle, London, United Kingdom
The 147-meter tall Strata SE1 features a dark facade with silver stripes and three wind turbines integrated into its roofline structure.
Constructed between 2007 and 2010 at a cost of 113 million pounds, the tower represented the first building with integrated wind turbines in London.
The building received the 2010 Carbuncle Cup from Building Design magazine readers, who designated it as Britain's least appealing new construction that year.
The 43-floor structure contains 408 apartments, including affordable housing units managed by Family Mosaic Housing Association for former Heygate Estate residents.
The three rooftop turbines, designed to generate eight percent of the building's energy needs, encountered operational limitations due to noise complaints from penthouse residents.
