This Biodynamic project is designed to generate energy through its envelope and geometry
The focus is placed on the overall geometry according to the energy concept and on the development of the building skin. The building consists of retail in the base of the tower, office spaces and a hotel with amenities located centrally and residential areas in the upper section of the tower. There is also a provision of underground car parking for 1.000 cars, which will be below the water table.
The design of the building is aggressively evocative and stands confident from all its adjoining neighbours’ as it tells a different story, that of responsibility, sustainability rather than stylish or symbolism.
The proposal intents to become a beacon of a confident, responsible, 21st Century UAE.
