The Split Towers of our design for MIMC are designed to create a unique statement in the skyline of Dubai.
Not only a landmark on the city’s skyline, the towers, and the podium they’re built on, together form a transit-oriented hub for living, leisure and hospitality, where people can shop, stay at the hotel, pick up groceries, enjoy a meal, do exercise, or even enjoy the scenery of Sheikh Khalifa tower and the city while having coffee at the sky gardens & Bar at level 60, all in one interconnected environment.
The project is part of our ongoing research into Super living, in this case into strategies to create sustainable, healthy complex that offers a high quality of life, while also addressing future needs for greater efficiency in Dubai in times of rapid urbanization and growth.
Every element of the proposed design serves a purpose. The external central atrium for instance, created by splitting the program into two leaning towers, is designed as an ascending space of dramatic volume, creating shelter over a beautiful urban gathering arena on top of the podium.
The towers are enveloped by overlapping layers of glazed skin, forming seamless connectivity and allowing an abundance of sunlight into the spaces to introduce a unique indoor quality.
The higher tower as well as its leaning twin ends up with a challenging triangular inclined cut. At the hotel roof gardens and sky bar the cut is oriented towards the Burj Khalifa Tower, while at the owner’s penthouse in the lower tower, the cut is directed towards the Dubai Creek; both allowing fantastic views of the best attractions in the city.

The city of Al Ain is an inland oasis city and it is also called “Garden City” for its palm groves and natural springs. The historic oasis sprawls across 3,000-acres and provides a unique insight into the region’s inhabitants who began taming the desert 4,000 years ago. The Al Ain Oasis has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011. The Landscape plays an important role within the project. It anchors the building to the urban context, offering a gathering space for visitors and employees. The project tries to interpret within the architectural language of these natural elements.

The architecture is developed as an interplay between strength and transparency, the tension between patterned elements, internal spaces and the geometrically more simple volumes.
The intriguing opening in the ceiling at the center of the building gives views into the floors of the building above to approaching visitors and creates welcoming feel.
The dynamic pattern wraps the form at all levels of scale in a single gesture, following the morphological evolution of the overall form, but designed in response to the excessive heat imbibing traditional elements and offering protection from the region’s hot climate by reducing the heat gain and rendering the building energy efficient.
