In partnership with local architect Sandi Pirš, Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas created a mesmerizing and intricate design for a double-ellipse tower for the Slovenian coastline. The majestic 111-meter high structure will be more than just an attention-capturing architectural piece. The double-ellipse tower will serve as a connection facilitator between Giusterna Beach and Monte San Marco. The towering building is situated in an area where two cultures—Italian and Slovenian—coexist. The double-ellipse tower is meant to embody the long-lasting and peaceful relationship between the two.
In addition, the architects and developers have great intentions for the Slovenian ellipse tower that slightly tilts toward the ocean. Hopes have been shared that the architectural marvel will "immediately become a new symbolic element of the city."
