Project Summary

The new gateway to Dubai ‘vortex’ is a mixed-use complex that provides a unique feature to the area and merges the city with its edge in a new dynamic way that allows for public interaction, quality living, and new forms of spaces rarely experienced in a metropolis of heights like Dubai. Our idea for the building was to utilize the energy and force coming from the main road on the northern edge of the plot. The force coming from the dynamic motion in the road was reflected on the adjacent building, making it look like it is flowing along the road, creating negative spaces and terraces within the skin that gives a very unique spatial experience.
