Arctura, Water tower in Östersund Municipality, Sweden
The Arctura building rises 215 feet above ground, featuring an almond-shaped exterior covered in stainless steel metal fabric with LED illumination.
The construction of this water storage facility in 2017 marked a new phase in Östersund's infrastructure development and urban planning strategy.
The tower's lighting design connects to Arcturus, the regional star of Jämtland, with illumination patterns that follow astronomical timing throughout seasons.
This multi-purpose structure contains 6.8 million gallons of heated water for regional home heating while offering a restaurant at its summit.
The structure incorporates Tigris metal fabrics secured by round rods with eyebolts, creating a thermally efficient exterior shell around the water tank.
