An Icon in the Sky

Located in Dubai’s Motor City, this high-rise office building is styled to reflect the dynamism, precision, and efficiency of a high-end racecar. The building’s facade radiates speed with its parallel vertical fins, a frost-like pattern on the glass that tapers as it elevates (as if evaporating), and edges that are curved inward beyond view. This striking envelope is as functional as it is decorative, featuring windows that vary in shade and thickness and work with the building’s skewed orientation to best accommodate the desert sun’s daily trajectory.
