The architecture responds to the different scales on site by breaking down in mass. A formal architectural frame serves as a device to hold two district facade types within a cohesive composition.

This facade picks up on the dynamic angular geometries with subtle elegance.

DESIGN CRITERIA

Both towers are designed with the aim of maximizing the views towards Burj Khalifa, Dubai Fountain and the opera. While B1 is almost square in shape because of the narrow views gap left

CONTEXT

The location and orientation of the towers was developed as a response to the surrounding context. B1 tower was located directly on the opera plaza to insure direct interaction and it rotated 90 degrees to face Dubai fountain as the major attractions of the site. On the other hand B2 Tower was located at Mohammad bin Rashid Boulevard with its front facade facing the arrivals to the project.

FIRM , 2014-2016

VIEWS: Both towers are designed with the aim of maximizing the views towards Burj Khalifa, Dubai Fountain and the opera. While B1 is almost square in shape because of the narrow views gap left the adjacent B4 and A4 towers, the layout is designed to ensure all three bedroom units and in majority of the two bedroom units have views. As a result, 58% of the units have direct or partial views towards the fountain and / or the Burj. B2 is rotated to ensure the longest façade is facing the fountain and the result is 61% with direct or partial fountain and / or Burj views.

“A HIGH-END DEVELOPMENT THAT FORMS THE GATEWAY TO THE OPERA DISTRICT” , B1-B2 IS A UNIQUE ADDITION TO DOWNTOWN DUBAI. INSPIRED BY NEW YORK’S ART DECO STYLE AND REFINED WITH A CONTEMPORARY TWIST TO CREATE AN ELEGANT ADDITION TO DUBAI’S SKYLINE, THE COMPLEX OFFERS UNPRECEDENTED VIEWS OF THE CULTURAL HEART OF DUBAI. THE LOCATION AND ORIENTATION OF THE TOWERS WAS DEVELOPED AS A RESPONSE TO THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT. B1 TOWER WAS LOCATED DIRECTLY ON THE OPERA PLAZA TO INSURE DIRECT INTERACTION AND IT ROTATED 90 DEGREES TO FACE DUBAI FOUNTAIN & BURJ KHALIFA AS THE MAJOR ATTRACTIONS OF THE SITE.

One Bedroom units: In order to give the priority to the larger units, the strategy was to keep the one bedroom units in the lower floors as much as possible and facing the boulevard.

CORNER LIVING ROOMS:

Inspired by New York’s unique art deco style and refined with a contemporary twist to create an elegant addition to Dubai’s skyline. Windows, louvers and G RC elements were standardized as much as possible to help reduce the building cost and maintain a glazing ratio between 40 -60%.

Because of the better views and higher returns, the layouts were design to insure corners are utilized for living rooms where possible. After taking all different planning constrains (efficiency, apartment configuration, area and type) more than 80% of the towers corners are utilized as living rooms.
