Architects in Oklahoma have planned a skyscraper for the city of Tulsa shaped called Tornado Tower . The city , which sits in Tornado Alley and sees a large number of the tower 's namesake weather events , has been looking for a building to rejuvenate an area that currently holds a part-time garage . Kinslow , Keith and Todd Inc , an architecture firm based in Tulsa , was approached by a local magazine to come up with an idea , and has now unveiled the concept for the Tornado Tower , which would hold a severe weather museum and research center . Scroll down for video . Architecture firm Kinslow , Keith and Todd Inc have designed a building for downtown Tulsa called the Tornado Tower . Architect Andrew Kinslow told Daily Mail Online that the plan 'has kind of taken on a life of its own ' after it was released late last month . Plans for the funnel cloud-shaped tower currently range from 20 to 30 stories , and would multiple floors would feature outdoor terraces . Mr Kinslow said that the garden floors were designed to look like tree debris being carried away by the twister . The building 's similarities to its real-life counterpart also include LED lights on the outside that would be spaced to give drivers on a nearby highway the illusion that the structure was spinning . A restaurant on the top floor would also spin counter-clockwise , the direction of tornadoes . Mr Kinslow said that they have been contacted by multiple potential investors interested in finding out more details about the project . The firm says that the reaction has been largely positive and that two Tulsa City Councillors have already voiced support . The funnel cloud building would hold a weather museum , multiples gardens , a revolving restaurant and a research center . While the design of the building may make it look likely to be blown over in the famously strong Oklahoma winds , its creators say the structure would be stable . A solid core would go up the middle of the building with elevators and bathrooms , according to Fox23 . The building would also feature a 360-degree rotating restaurant on its top floor , and the revolving action seems appropriate given the tower 's swirling inspiration . Architects say office space could be easily added and classrooms in its base could help teach visitors about weather safety . 'If you think of St Louis , you think of the Arch . In Seattle , you think of the Space Needle . Tulsa 's one of those places where nobody thinks of anything but Indians and dust . And well , maybe tornadoes , ' Kinslow said . Tornado Tower , which does not yet have a client to build it , would be held up by a strong core section with elevators . It would be located near the BOK Center ( left ) , a 19,000-seat arena . Tornado Tower would be visible from most of the downtown Tulsa area , and the architect said his team was looking to make 'an elegant looking building ' . The state of Oklahoma saw more than 80 tornadoes in 2013 , though the number did not reach the 145-tornado record set in 1999 , according to the National Weather Service . On top of the tower there would be a terrace designed for reporters to do weather broadcasts . Tulsa 's skyline features a number of skyscrapers that would remain taller than the proposed Tornado Tower , including the 52-story Bank of Oklahoma Tower that was designed by the same architects who built the original World Trade Centers . The new tower would be located near BOK Center , the 19,000-seat home of the Tulsa Oilers . Kinslow said that discussions have also been had about moving the prospective building to a different area with more ground space . The weather museum and research center would add another skyscraper to the Tulsa skyline if it is built near the BOK Center ( right )
the Tulsa Oilers , Keith and Todd came up with idea to rejuvenate downtown space . Building would include a weather research center and classrooms . Green terraces would look like debris and LED lights make it appear to spin . Architects do n't have a client yet , but drawings have generated interest .
