Bootylicious building: the Melbourne skyscraper inspired by Beyoncé

Can you handle this?

Yep. Beyoncé is so undeniably incredible that she now informs modern architecture

Melbourne residents will soon be living in the shadow of Beyoncé's booty - immortalised in 78 storeys of concrete, metal and steel. Melbourne architecture firm Elenberg Fraser have released plans for the Premier Tower, with a design they say was inspired by Beyonce's 2013 'Ghost' video clip - if you don't remember it, check it out below.

Take one look at the design and its influence is clear: the towering structure is all undulating curves in high-shimmer, bootylicious glory. "For those more on the art than science side," says Elenberg Fraser on their website, "we will reveal that the form does pay homage to something more aesthetic - we're going to trust you've seen the music video for Beyoncé's Ghost."

The building, to be built near Melbourne's Southern Cross train station, will be home to residential apartments, retail and a hotel. But what we want to know is this: will Beyoncé be there to cut the ribbon at the building's eventual opening? We can only hope.
