Spiky Kaktus Towers

Photographer Rasmus Hjortshøj has captured a pair of spiky high-rise buildings by Danish studio BIG as they near completion in Copenhagen.
Named Kaktus Towers, the pair of jagged buildings comprise 495 residences and are linked by a raised public park that slopes between them.
According to BIG, while the towers themselves are open and inhabited, the communal facilities and public park will reach completion late this spring.
The Kaktus Towers are among the upcoming buildings featured in Dezeen's roundup of 12 interesting architecture projects scheduled to reach completion in 2024.
Their distinctive look is achieved through the rotation of their floorplates, which provides each home with a unique view of the Danish capital's Vesterbro district. Their corners are also opened up as balconies.
BIG has designed the tallest of the two towers to reach 80 metres and, together, they encompass 26,100 square metres.
