The Water Towers

The Two Towers Water Tower
The old water towers in Handen before and after the face lift. The new design is thanks to HMXW architects. They call it Mirrors & Triangles. It will be a landmark in Handen that's for sure, because no one ever noticed the old ( and rather ugly), towers and no one will miss the "new" towers. The twin towers now have a reflective surface that will change with the daylight and the seasons. They differ a bit in design and one tower will reflect more of the sky than the other. I guess I should make this a new project and show some photos every now and then.

I think they look brilliant Steffe, you can have lots of fun with these two beauties :) That ominous grey sky in the background makes the perfect introduction shot!

Här kan man snacka om skillnad och förändringen är definitivt till det bättre. Dessutom skulle jag vilja lyfta fram din övre bild, precis som en annan gjort bland kommentarerna, eftersom den dramatiska himlen i bakgrunden passar utmärkt till den nya och reflekterande fasadbeklädnaden. Bra fotat!
