Burj Al Alam

Dubai, UAE

A 108-storeys and 496m from a fan-shaped site of 6.75acres, the fluted and slender waisted tower rises like a bunch of reeds among a sea of mid-rise anonymous towers to be crowned with a jewel  in the sky to make a mark in Dubai Business Bay. The point tower is flanked by 4-storeys podium blocks of retail, 4-storeys basement and annex car parking block supporting the efficient functioning of the tower block for both the office workers and residents alike. It has an efficent and functional plan with curved external walls that translate into free-flowing internal spatial experiences.
