The Four-Leaf Towers' symbol is derived from the four-leaf clover pattern. The
square-quadrant plan spreads from a central building core like the four-leaf clover
grows from a central stem.
Cesar Pelli, world-renowned architect and Dean of the School of Architecture at
Yale University was chosen to design this landmark.
Pelli believes architectural design can improve the quality of life, and healthy
architecture must grow from the characteristics of the time. One of the characteristics of our
time is glass. No one has more experience with it, or uses it better, than Pelli. He took
symmetry, glass and color, and wove them into two landmark towers.
The square forty-story buildings stand amid a green landscape; their colors, placed with
precision up the sides in silhouette-fashion, interact with the changing patterns of sunlight
to create a sense of animation. The towers are unusually graceful, yet not delicate. In fact,
their engineering strength and resistance to lateral movement comes from their symmetry. However,
the all-glass buildings are not properly called all-glass. In fact, the colored glass is ceramic-coated
and backed by solid wall just as efficient as marble or brick.
At the thirty-ninth and fortieth floor, location of the penthouses, the square shapes of the
building become octagonal to form a top crown. Standing at right angles to one another, the
towers are formal and elegant, crisply detailed, and bold in their colors.
Each unit in Four-Leaf Towers offers residents great flexibility in adapting
the function of every room to their special needs. Every bedroom is self-contained suite with its own private bath.
The emphasis on performance and visual excellence is immediately apparent in the rich
woods of the two-story entrance lobby, the spacious foyers of each unit, the use of
Italian Marble and tile, the totally equipped kitchens with custom cabinetry and bronzed
mirrors between cabinets, the 9-foot, 2 inch ceilings in living areas, the chrome
hardware, the three bedroom residence’s optional corner garden room, the operable
windows, the wet-bar, powder room and the generous storage areas in addition to the
individual storage units for each residence on the second floor.
