MARINA TOWER
DUBAI, UAE
This 30-storey residential tower rises from a retail and parking podium. The project’s frontage onto the marina is of vital importance to the scheme. The rectangular-shape of the tower, featuring cantilevered corner balconies, is designed to maximize unobstructed water views for its residents. The podium consists of 6 levels of parking with a leisure deck and health club at its roof level.
The exterior of both tower and podium are clad in beige colored precast concrete and granite panels, blue-tinted glass and a selective use of silver aluminum panels. Dramatic night lighting, designed to accentuate the verticality of the exterior, highlights this tower in its context.
Marina Tower offers an inspired response to vertical living, located at the entrance to Dubai Marina, this landmark scheme emphasizes the sheer verticality of the tower itself. The positioning of the form on the site and the overall massing of the tower offers views in all directions. Abstractly sculpted from metal and glass, the curved forms of the tower gently reflect in the setting sun.
The tower accommodates both hotel and serviced apartment accommodation, with the crown containing a rooftop pool bar, specialty restaurant and observation deck. Hotel and Serviced Apartment amenities are distributed vertically through the tower, each amenity being accompanied by a sky terrace with views our across the Arabian Gulf.
