35m air traffic control tower as part of the award winning business aviation facility at Farnborough. The integration of the tower and support building has been resolved by using a seamless brushed aluminium skin, inspired by aircraft and boat building technology, as a cloak, which is extruded up the stem of the tower before flaring outwards to support the Visual Control Room. It is the first tower in the UK to have a 16-sided glazed control room; traditionally they are 6-8 sides.
