Business Bay Hotel Dubai
- Phases: Appraisal, Preliminary design
- Planning time: 2005
- Building contractor: Dubai Properties
Façade design for an exclusive hotel tower in Business Bay Dubai with 301 rooms and 18 suites
The existing planning in the form of an L-shaped floor plan was turned upside down and thus opened up to Business Bay. The result is two twisted structures. The resulting opening joint and the inserted glass cube stand out as special elements in terms of colour and material. The glass façades of the twisted structures are horizontally structured by light-coloured natural stone strips that visually connect the ensemble. The particular challenge here was that the plateau floors with lobby, ballroom and conference centre as well as the vertical access routes were not to be altered.
