With an octagon-shaped metal core, Echo Tower reflects views of Columbus and brings all sides of the community together. Each side of the octagon “echos” its surroundings. The amenities/restaurants mirror short north, the offices mirror downtown Columbus, and the hotel rooms mirror Scioto river. By creating an octagon core, the building creates wedges that allow more light to enter the building. On the insides of wedges, an octagon-shaped pattern adds to the views from the outdoors spaces. This pattern acts as a trellis to add more greenery near the courtyards. Overall, the building reads as a monolith with a reflective core that dissipates into the sky.
