Curated Directory

Overview

Living in cities like New York and Oslo, you can't help but look up. The residential towers that define modern skylines are more than buildings. They say something about how people want to live. Towers Club was born from that fascination.

A curated approach

Rather than scraping every building database, Towers Club takes an editorial approach. Each tower is handpicked for architectural significance, design innovation, or cultural impact. The result is a collection that feels more like a gallery than a spreadsheet.

The collection

The platform features towers organized by city and architect, with rich imagery and key details: floor count, year completed, and architectural style. Users can create accounts to save favorites and build personal collections.

What I learned

Building on Lovable allowed rapid iteration from concept to live product. The key insight: people care deeply about the buildings they live in, and there was no single destination to explore the best residential architecture globally.

Every great city is defined by its skyline. Towers Club started as a personal obsession with residential architecture and turned into a directory that helps people discover the buildings that define living at height.
