BUILDING TO THE SKY, WITH A PLAN FOR RISING WATERS

The American Copper Buildings, by JDS Development Group and SHoP Architects, perfectly balance style and resilience, reflected in their structure that is designed to resist extreme weather conditions. The towers are equipped with numerous safety precautions that will enable residents to continue their day to day activities in the event of severe weather. The buildings’ generators will allow elevators and water pumps to stay operational, maintain lighting in shared areas, and allow the refrigerator and one outlet in each residence to function. Additional safety measures include, sub-basement drainage systems, stone walls that are water-repellent, and mechanical equipment housed above flood level.
