The Cube, Modern architectural structure in Birmingham, England
The 24-story Cube rises in geometric patterns with silver and bronze cladding, featuring over 2,100 anodized aluminum panels across its exterior walls.
Ken Shuttleworth designed this mixed-use development in 2005, with construction beginning in 2007 and final completion achieved in autumn 2010.
The structure references Birmingham's metal industry through its exterior design, while incorporating contemporary features like a glass atrium and rooftop dining.
The building contains 244 residential apartments, 111,500 square feet of office space, retail units, a hotel, and an automated parking system for 300 vehicles.
Two fire-fighting cores support the structure, which includes a twisting central atrium allowing natural light and rain to reach the internal courtyard.
