This is unreal.. 6

Is This real? Am I the only one who is having a hard time believing my eyes. There seem to be at least a total of 5 cantilever floors for office use may be? I can't seem to find the name of this building or any other relevant information. It showed up in google search while I was searching another topic.

I am puzzling over this building for the better part of the day. Why is the cantilever end not deflected up to, I don't know, a meter yet? Does this building have a more stiffer load path than that of exterior, hidden somewhere inside? If anyone else can make sense of this structure, kindly explain it to me.

Blackstar, out of interest, what are you using for those markups?? Looks very neat!

A decade ago, I saw a high rise (like 50 stories) with a 25'-ish cantilever over a smaller high rise in Canada.

Also, this exists. No idea how they got deflection and seismic to work. Link

I love that they kept the (bolted) trusses not only visible but very prominent in the open space.
I'd - pay - to work in an office like that.

BTW, it also basically follows Chris3eb's cross section.

Thanks Blackstar!

@kingnero It's pretty cool, but it would cause a headroom issue where I practice (NY). I'm surprised they got away with it.

Fascinating that the building's original creators went bankrupt. Go figure.
