 Modern icon |
Off Ashton Fitchett Drive Brooklyn Wellington 6002 New Zealand +64 4 381 1200 |
What better way to celebrate the seasonal wind patterns (spring is the worst) of the windy city than with a wind turbine? Erected in 1993 to test the feasibility of wind-generated power in the city, it now supplies power to 80 homes and has also rapidly become a local icon. An added bonus is the spectacular panoramic views. Visible from many parts of the city, its classic form has endeared it to many. For those wanting a momento, buy a tile in Brooklyn village.
