Dubai is carving out a hyper-luxurious future for itself out of the towering red desert dunes in the shape of towering Dubai luxury residences.
The city’s architecture has moved well beyond breaking height records and is now delving into a number of new areas. The first one of these is the Dubai hyper-luxury residences
Hyper-Luxury Branded Skyscrapers
With major brands like Bugatti, Aston Martin and Porsche building residential towers for the super wealthy the sky truly is the limit. With penthouses that have elevators for the cars, enabling their high-net-worth residents to ride their supercars right up and into the apartments. The most expensive of these Dubai luxury residences retails at over £50 million.
According to property experts Knight Frank, the demand for branded residences has “accelerated” significantly in the past two years. Now luxury clothing companies like Fendi and Missoni are joining the fray too.
Although the US has the highest number of branded residences, Dubai is now the leading city when it comes to these branded residences, and the skyline is expected to become dominated with brand names shining bright in the night sky.
Tech City
Dubai has passed a mandate to move 100% of government operations over to AI using a vast network of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, 3D digital mapping and crypto blockchain networks to fine-tune municipal operations and infrastructure.
By collecting data through everything from traffic lights to toasters, the city will empower AI to machine-learn at a much faster rate and calibrate the city systems to be hyper-efficient.
Basing municipal systems on the blockchain means everything is everywhere. Benefits will include everything from intelligent traffic control to streamlined civil management.
The Digital Dubai Initiatives are working towards a paperless public sector and a happiness agenda based on blockchain power.
The Dubai Blockchain Strategy will help Dubai achieve the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum by making Dubai “the first city fully powered by Blockchain” and making Dubai the happiest city on earth.
Eco-Friendly Dubai Luxury Residences
As well as hyper-luxury and smart-city tech, contemporary Dubai architecture is focusing on integrating nature into the heart of its buildings.
Soaring towers with hydroponic balconies, vertical forests and controlled micro-climates are wellness-focused for modern nature-led communities who want more than just glass and steel in their residences.
Research from clinical studies show where people spend even 15 to 20 minutes around thick greenery (especially trees) can improve cognitive function, lower stress hormones, reduce blood pressure and decrease anxiety.
Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina boasts “wellness considered on every level” and is the tallest residential tower in the world.
That deeply entrenched desire to be close to nature is satisfied in part by the new architecture that blends steel beams and cellular roots to create harmonic buildings that are a world away from 70s Brutalism.
Architects, construction companies, developers and designers are vying with one another to create the boldest and the best Dubai luxury residences, many with the help of Boha Glass and its 200+ team of glass artists, designers, fabricators and installers around the world.
