Dubai, UAE - On-Going

The project is a big tower with 19 residential floors, 2 podiums including parking slots, and 1st level of basement of parking. We designed wavy-shaped balconies for the façade which is inspired by the waves of the sea and at night the façade has the moonlight self-illumination which makes the design more impressive. The details of the balconies with the self-illuminated material (metacrilato) were so challenging because there was no existing project on this scale with this material on the façade, also the curved shape of the parapets makes the details more complicated. Another design consideration in this project is the height of the wavy parapets in a way that doesn’t block the view of the residents and provides a good proportion for the shape of the waves, aesthetic-wise. Finally, we came up with the idea of having a 50 cm height of the opaque parapet from the flooring of the balcony and 70cm of the glass. In this case, for a person inside the apartment while sitting there is an infinite view.
