Being tall and skinny isn't entirely a bed of roses.

"the 73-storey skyscraper will contain 131 apartments that all span the width of the building, giving them views in both directions."

That must be an interesting floor plan, pulling that off and accommodating circulation. Maybe all the units two stories, with elevator and corridor circulation only on every other floor?

I remember that NYT article that @Big_Al posted, having read that, there’s no way I’d want to live, or even stay, in a tower like the one in the article @wtg linked.

Defying physics is not, IMO as a consumer, a great idea for residential architecture.
