Double helix tower has unique design and view from the top for tourists
Torre de aço por Big Arquitetura A new tourist attraction has just been designed in Denmark by Big Architecture : a 25-meter-high tower with a double helix that creates a super interesting and eye-catching dynamic that visitors are loving. Located within the Wadden Sea National Park, the structure is amazing. Named Marsk Tower, the tower is made entirely of Corten steel, which gives the space a rustic and retro look. It is located near a café inside the park, which is surrounded by marshes ( Marsk Camp ) listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site , in southwestern Denmark.

The architecture firm Big designed the space to have a dynamic shape that goes beyond the obvious. The tower resembles a DNA design, and appears to be formed almost entirely by steps.
Although it may not seem like it, the tower has an elevator to make the climb more accessible. There are 146 steps for those who wish to venture to the top, which is 36 meters above sea level.

“This gives a completely unique perspective over the flat marshland and fantastic views of the National Park,” comments Marsk Camp. The structure was made with around 300 tons of corten steel and sits on a pedestal with more than 200 tons of concrete. Source: Dezeen
