Summit
Located at the peak of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, British Columbia, Summit is a sleek, steel tower designed to celebrate the architectural potential of exposed structural steel. Its design consists of three main structural components: a primary tubular support structure, an egress arm with stairs and observation deck, and a series of tension cables tying back the structure. The precarious aesthetic of the tower inspires the bravest of travellers to ascend and experience the incredible views that it offers. Higher than the birds, higher than the clouds, Summit is a unique architectural structure that brings humanity beyond the 2,436m limit of the ancient mountain on which it stands.
