This high rise development, situated in a prime location in
Dubai, is divided into two distinctive slender towers, one
53 storeys and one 60 storeys, situated on each side of a
multi-storey atrium lobby space. The Suites Tower houses
the Sofitel Hotel and luxury serviced apartments, while the
Residential Tower houses rental apartments. The towers rise
to over 210meters, with one convex and one concave. The
development includes 250 luxury rental residences with
hotel like services and amenities, prime corporate office
space, conference centers, high-end retail shops, restaurants,
hospitals and entertainment areas.
Shimmering veils of glass define the two towers, blurring the
border between land and water or the desert salt flats and the
gulf. The veil-like folded sheets of glass that cover the entire
front facades create the sense of a patterned sunscreen and
carve familiar shapes into the Dubai skyline on a monumental
scale. Each tower bends and creases independently as it rises
to the sky, creating both a sense of individuality and unity.
