A certified LEED-Silver landmark high-rise that serves as the cornerstone of L.A. Live, adjacent to the Staples Center and Convention Center.

Taking the form of a faceted obelisk, the tower is clad in silvery high-performance glass with ultra-clear, low-iron glass at the building’s corners and crown.
Unlike many casinos, Encore Las Vegas features natural light through large windows, dense greenery, and an Asian-inspired interior.
432 Park Avenue, New York City
432 Park Avenue represents a new generation of superslim skyscrapers and is defined by its simplicity and large glass windows set in a regular grid of exposed concrete members.
56 Leonard's irregularly projecting floors, as well as the irregular spacing and location of the balconies throughout its 57 stories have nicknamed the building the "Jenga".

One Liberty Place, Philadelphia
Though controversial when initially proposed, this 61-story tower completely transformed Philadelphia's skyline upon its completion in 1985, and has since become a famous city symbol.
