Earlier this year, the MENA arm of LWK + Partners completed the design package for the “Burj Crown” by Emaar.
Due to be completed in 2023, the luxury residential development is the final addition to Dubai’s renowned Downtown Skyline. The upcoming unique urban residential destination was launched at the beginning of 2020 by His Excellency Mohamed Alabbar, Founder and Chairman of Emaar Properties.
“Urban sophistication with contemporary simplicity has been a primary goal for the design approach of this residential tower,” says Kourosh Salehi, MENA Design Director, describing the design approach “a punched masonry façade with monochrome panels articulated by cantilevered balconies, with metal edge detailing to provide robust and ageless elegance,” he added.
At the street level the commercial units and the entrance lobby have been detailed with additional care through their use of crafted materials and edge treatments. In contrast the functionality of the podium has been reflected by the rational use of a simple geometry and robust materials and detailing. A prominent feature is the six-storey landscaped Leisure Deck on the podium providing social and outdoor amenities for the residents and their guests.
