Gazprom energy corporation has just released the architectural concept of another tower called Lakhta-2 it is planning to build in the northern capital and it looks fabulous!
Gazprom has an ambitious plan to build the second tallest building in the world. The 703-meter-tall skyscraper, dubbed Lakhta-2 , will only be a little shorter than the 828-meter Burj Khalifa in Dubai. At the same time, the new building will have the tallest viewpoint in the world - at 590 meters - and will break the record of the highest operating floor. 703 is also not an accidental number, it refers to the year 1703, when Peter the Great founded St. Petersburg.
UK firm Kettle Collective has unveiled plans for an ambitious megatall skyscraper that could become the world's second-tallest if realized. Envisioned for Saint Petersburg, Russia, the twisting tower would reach a dizzying height of 703 m.
