THE SAIL
Street view of The Sail, as seen from Sheikh Zayed Road
Burj Al-Arab has always been the expressionist interpretation of the traditional Dhow sail. The Sail Tower pushes this interpretation into the digital era through organic bone-like structures, towering into a tent-like sail at its crown.
Location Dubai | UAE
Type Commission
Program Residential
Size 40,000 SQM
Morphology
The outer structure grows from its onion root into a linear forest of bones branching as the primary tower structure. The branches morph into sheets on the top floor raising the peak of the tower while offering shade to its roof. Another resonance from its past, Burj Al-Arab.
The Sail represents the epitome of luxury living, utilizing high ceilings, and focusing on prime views while offering high-quality and spacious interiors. Each apartment is accessed through a programmed elevator, and serviced by a hidden internal network.
