When I think ‘lighthouse,’ I picture (as I’m sure most people do) a slim, sloping tower with a railing and beaming cyclops light at its peak, not this frosty block known simply as the 'Lighthouse Tower.'
Envisioned by Mikou Design Studio, the Lighthouse Tower is a modern, futuristic take on the traditional coastal structure. Located on the Cotunduba island in Brazil, it redefines our classic take on the sea-guiding building.
