Inspired by Art Deco elegance, the towers reinterpret timeless sophistication through a modern lens.

“These towers reflect timeless perfection and stand as a new icon on Sheikh Zayed Road,” said Timothy Winstanley, AIA, RIBA, Design Director and Lead Architect. “They embody urban luxury — a modern oasis in the sky. Their refined geometry ascends gracefully, unveiling one-of-a-kind residences with unparalleled views of Dubai’s skyline and the Arabian Gulf.”
