The project led by [Superkül](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridge-house) alongside design-build team Boszko & Verity replaces the original vertical glazing and outdoor steel enclosure with new [sloped structural glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-conservatory) and “Tilt Zones,” which allow visitors to lean outward for expansive views of the city skyline. The renovation also expands usable interior area and introduces a revitalised outdoor terrace, modernising the tower’s visitor experience more than four decades after its original opening in 1976. A biophilic, modular ceiling system comprises digitally fabricated oak-laminated panels that conceal mechanical and audiovisual components, while interactive displays such as a [large immersive video wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edge-nyc) and panoramic screens showcase Canadian and Indigenous art. Accessibility improvements developed with specialists extend inclusive access across the renovated level. The CN Tower’s Lower Observation Level now features year-round indoor viewing capacity and upgraded viewing zones that combine panoramic glazing with integrated interactive and cultural elements to enhance visitor engagement.
