From the outside, she's a glimmering diamond in the shape of a cruise
ship. Over a thousand feet long from stem to stern, and 180 feet at its
widest, this long, sleek glass-and-steel structure is the gem of the
Mathias Island fleet. It will be joined by other, smaller, buildings
that each sports its own architectural splendor and cutting-edge
technology, but none will rival Nave a Cristallo -- the Crystal
Ship.
Presiding over Fortune Bay from its island perch, Cristallo will be
visible from nearly all points in the development. It will be one of
the first structures that visitors will see upon entering the bay from
the river, and it will leave a lasting impression. From the flying
decks on the 25th floor to the artistic metalwork sculpture at the
prow that simulates her bow wake, every view of this building will
hold new visual marvels.
