PP85 tower by the HAS | Knippers Hellbig team, is The Competition winner for the MGN tower in Pnompenh in 2018. Rising 85 storeys, 485m above the Cambodia’s Capital City, the all-new MGN Tower is due to open shortly in one of Asia’s most historic cities, complete with a full indoor park and City view deck.
Nodorom Blv. is the busiest road in Pnompenh and Cambodia. And the building expected to be the icon A rate tower here, even the icon of the country and for the MGN also.
The twisting glass skyscraper – now the Country second tallest building at 450m with the Inspiration and new idea from Ochna flower and Bayon Khmer architecture. The tower’s form softly transforms the flower-shape to star-shape at the top.
FLOWER-DRESS SHAPE 
To create an attractive building, we brought commercial and cultural facilities meters away from the street, so citizens will be able to enjoy the atmosphere of high-rise and in an activated urban environment, like in New York, Singapore or Saigon.
The FLOWER-DRESS SHAPE curtain wall will enclose a composite concrete core with steel framing. Apertures in the curtain wall at regular intervals will assist in venting wind pressure against the tower; the apertures will also house window-washing systems and .air intake and exhaust systems on mechanical foors
In addition, the HAS Interiors team is developing the tower’s sculpted interior public spaces, .many of which reflect the tower’s exterior silhouette
The conical silhouette is visibly echoed in the entrances to the primary elevator bank from the main lobby, as well as in the shapes of the elevator cabs and other public spaces.
The lobbies and other amenity spaces within the tower also feature sweeping, fluid lines and a neutral blue-gray palette that recalls the reflective glass of the exterior wall
The transparency of the ground floor lobby wall allows views from inside toward the entry canopy drop-off areas, establishing a seamless relationship between the interior and exterior.
