Torre Eurosky, Skyscraper in Torrino district, Rome, Italy.
Torre Eurosky is a 120-metre skyscraper in the Torrino district, just outside Rome's EUR. Designed by Franco Purini, it is built of concrete and steel clad in flamed granite, with facades marked by regular balcony openings. The tower is split into two vertical prisms, each served by its own stair and lift cores and linked by bridges housing technical systems. It has 28 floors plus 5 technical levels, and its roof carries a large photovoltaic panel array and a telecommunications antenna.
Torre Eurosky was designed by architect Franco Purini, with structural engineering by SBG&Partners of Rome. It was built as part of the Europarco Business Park in the Torrino district, just outside the administrative boundary of EUR, at a cost of over 100 million euros. It and the neighbouring Torre Europarco were completed in mid-2012.
The architectural design by Franco Purini references medieval towers of Rome, incorporating traditional elements into modern vertical construction.
The building sits in the southern part of the city and is reachable by public transportation. Its mixed-use layout makes it accessible to both retail visitors and residential guests.
The tower is topped by a large structure holding a wall of photovoltaic panels, and a tall telecommunications antenna projects from the edge of the roof. The panel support bends the outer facade, so the crown reads as a fold rather than a flat top. The building reaches 120 metres over 28 floors plus 5 technical floors.
