Elire Tower Dubai

What can be new in a city that has been recognised for decades as one of the most technically innovative and architecturally modern cities in the world? What architecture can mediate between the local building tradition, the latest requirements for modern living and the special urban planning situation? Surrounded by much taller but rather uniform skyscrapers, the Elire Tower stands out from its surroundings thanks to its architecture and at the same time blends into the urban landscape. The architectural composition, which is clearly recognisable as a residential building, develops from a base to a rectangular tower with 26 storeys and even furher to a crown with an emblematic character: the round-arched loggia at the top, which is over 13 metres high, makes formal reference to the historic wind towers, which are a characteristic architectural feature of the United Arab Emirates. Under the high arches, there is a spectacular view of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, opposite. The amenities under the crown, where the swimming pool, saunas and massage rooms are located, are available to the entire building community. The partnership between a high-profile hotel operator in the luxury segment and the innovative project developer Qube Development makes modern living possible for urban people. Residents always have the services of a hotel at their disposal. Above the usual four-storey ‘podium’ in Dubai, which houses service functions and the underground car park, there are 23 residential floors with different apartment sizes. One hundred compact to very spacious flats offer living space for a wide variety of living situations. All flats will have a loggia across the entire width of the external facade as a generous extension to the living space. These loggias can also be used as outdoor seating when the sun is strong, as they are protected from the sun and wind by lockable shutters.
