Beetham Tower (also known as the Hilton Tower[9]) is a landmark 47-storey mixed-use skyscraper in Manchester, England. Completed in 2006, it is named after its developers, the Beetham Organisation, and was designed by SimpsonHaugh and Partners.[4] The development occupies a sliver of land at the top of Deansgate, hence its elongated plan and was proposed in July 2003 with construction starting a year later. At a height of 554 feet (169 m), it is the tallest building in the United Kingdom outside London and 10th tallest building in the United Kingdom. It has been described by the Financial Times as "the UK’s only proper skyscraper outside London".[10] Consequently, it is the tallest building in Manchester however construction commenced in July 2016 on Tower 1 at Owen Street which will surpass the Beetham Tower as the tallest building in Manchester when completed in 2019 with a height of 659 feet (201 m).
Floors 1 to 22 are occupied by the 279-bedroom, four-star Hilton Manchester Deansgate Hotel.[4] The 23rd floor has a four-metre cantilevered overhang with two glass windows in its floor, overlooking the ground from the skybar, Cloud 23,[34] the only such bar in Manchester. The floor has a bar and lounge operated by Hilton.[9] Floors 25 to 47 floors are occupied by residential apartments.[35] A 12-storey office block is planned next to the tower,[4] with 6,506 square metres of floor space.[21] The hotel has a four-storey annex, containing a swimming pool, ballroom, conference rooms and coffee shop.[34]
On 29 January 2009 a fire broke out on the 31st floor in Mario Balotelli's flat and partial evacuation of the tower took place; one apartment was left uninhabitable.
On 14 February 2011 Beetham Hotels Manchester Ltd went into administration.[52] Later in the year, the hotel was sold to Cypriot businessman Loucas Louca

From Wikipedia : "The ground under Bangkok is sinking around three centimetres per year. Built on an alluvial plain of soft clay, the subsidence is exacerbated by excessive pumping of groundwater by industry and by the sheer weight of the massive buildings. According to Thailand's National Reform Council (NRC), without urgent action Bangkok could be underwater by 2030 due to the combination of groundwater extraction, the weight of city buildings, and rising sea levels."

When everyday life revolves around itself for too long, it's time to bring a little variety into the routine. Hence, reaching for the big things immediately is tempting, but mostly they take time to implement. Yet, that doesn't mean that you can't allow yourself a little adventure.
There is often no need to go so far and find a place that breaks the cycle of individual routines. However, the extraordinary things in your field of vision frequently get lost in the presence of what you already know, and that's why you stop looking more attentively.
However, taking a closer look is worth it because you might get surprised by an unexpected getaway.

I wanted to make a modern home - in some way inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the colours of the 20th century - updated to 21st century lifestyle.
