Foster + Partners has just unveiled the designs of two neighboring residential towers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Named VELA and VELA VIENO, the two towers offer waterfront living, providing direct access to the promenade and the marina. Reaching a height of 150 meters, VELA spans a floor area of 272,860 sqm across 30 floors. The tower features 38 residences, including penthouses and three and four-bedroom units. Upon arrival, residents are dropped off at an elevated zone at the tower's base. VELA VIENTO has 41 stories and a height of 180 meters, and it includes 92 apartments. Three of the apartments are unique bridge apartments that span the towers. Two penthouses sit atop the tower as its crowning feature.
