In the bustling city of Dubai, a new and unique skyscraper is in the works. Unlike any other building in the world, this one will stretch towards the sky at a staggering height of 380 meters, while its width will be a mere 20 meters, equivalent to the size of a single apartment.
The project, known as the Muraba Veil, has been revealed by its architects and developers, who have shared some exciting details about this one-of-a-kind structure. It will stand tall at 73 stories and will offer 131 apartments, ranging from two to five bedrooms. These high-end residences will also be accompanied by a host of luxurious amenities, including a spa, restaurant, gallery, padel court, and even a private movie theater, making it a dream for those seeking the ultimate in luxury living.
Located next to a canal and the main transport artery, Sheikh Zayed Road, the Muraba Veil has been designed by the renowned Spanish firm RCR Arquitectes, who have been honored with the prestigious Pritzker Prize for their exceptional work. This is the fifth collaboration between RCR Arquitectes and Muraba, and they are aiming to complete the project by December 2028.
Of course, such extravagance comes at a price, and a steep one at that. The starting price for an apartment in this lavish address is a whopping 18 million dirhams. However, it will be worth every penny, as each apartment will span the entire width of the building and will be inspired by traditional Arabian houses, complete with an inner courtyard and a serene atmosphere created by the surrounding greenery.
The building's design is nothing short of breathtaking, with its intricate layers, the first being the "veil." This veil is a bespoke stainless steel mesh that will be porous and responsive, reflecting the ever-changing shades of the sky. According to Rafael Aranda, the founder of RCR Arquitectes, their aim is to create buildings that seamlessly blend with the natural landscape and local culture.
Dubai is already home to the world's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, standing tall at a staggering 823 meters, and soon it will also be home to the second-tallest, the Burj Azizi, which is set to be completed in 2028 and will reach a height of 722 meters. With more than any other city in the world, Dubai is known for its towering structures that dominate the skyline.
But it's not just about height for Dubai; the city is also home to various record-breaking structures, such as the highest infinity pool, the largest natural flower garden, and even the world's largest picture frame, just to name a few. The Muraba Veil will undoubtedly be another addition to the city's impressive collection of superlative buildings, and we cannot wait to see it in all its grandeur in the years to come.
