Anara Tower represents the convergence of arts and culture in Dubai
Following a global design competition between three Atkins offices – Dubai, Hong Kong and London – Dubai based Tameer holding has announced Atkins Dubai as the winner.
Unveiling its design for a 600metre-plus skyscraper to be located on the famous Sheik Zayed Road, which based on current world rankings the ‘Anara’ Tower will be amongst the world’s tallest structures.
Spanning almost five million square feet, the 100 storey-plus mixed use project, which is heavily infused with arts and culture in both form and function.
Featured with an extravagant mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom luxury apartments and palatial penthouses with at least one penthouse planned to include a private elevator and a private pool – set to be the most valuable in the Middle East.
‘Anara’ Tower will also comprise a world class art gallery, a 250 room boutique hotel, restaurants, retail amenities and 325,000 square feet of commercial space. Such ‘future proofing’ for further expansion is important in this key site and Atkins Dubai provided several options as part of the added value service.
The podium features food and retail outlets, a 30m swimming pool plus family and kids pool, along with two multi purpose sports courts. Four sky gardens feature every 27 floors allowing outside living spaces.
These will be landscaped in keeping with environmental objectives, but also meeting the needs of the residents in providing rarely considered green outside space.
The design of ‘Anara’ Tower will answer the environmental challenges posed to modern day skyscrapers by maximizing water and energy efficiency; and potentially including renewable sources of energy, in addition to conforming to the internationally recognized LEED certification requirements.
