The land down under is giving Bey the respect she deserves — they're literally putting her on the skyline. Australian design firm Elenberg Fraser has been approved for a 740-foot tower inspired by Beyoncé's music video for "Ghost," Dezeen reports.
"For those more on the art than science side, 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,'" explains Elenberg Fraser's website.
Although the building will mostly be residential, visitors may be able to stay in the Beyoncé Tower (okay, okay, its real name is the "Premiere Tower") as it will also host a 160-room hotel. And while the tower's curvy features are also supposedly architecturally significant — something about "structural dispersion, frequency oscillation, and wind requirements" — we all know who Beyoncé's really been haunting.
