Coop Himmelb(l)au architects have provided us with the third project of their design trilogy for the Dubai creek area.



Horizontal Sky is a new concept for spatial organization and building form in the competitive skyline of Dubai. The building is like a sculpted high-rise turned on its side and lifted into the sky. Horizontal Sky’s paradigmatic concept creates an entirely new and unmistakable icon on the skyline and provides a never before experienced urban condition that is both reflective of and connected to the position on the Khor Dubai waterfront. The iconographic quality and unique functional, spatial and view conditions will ensure that the new building becomes the most well known destination in Dubai and the UAE.
