Atkins unveils designs for major new Dubai mixed-use scheme

Atkins has unveiled design images for Iris Bay - a 170m high, 32-storey tower in the heart of Dubai's commercial core, Business Bay.

The tower is elevated above a four-story perforated podium which floats over a double height arcade, and houses retail and commercial space totalling 82,000 sq m. The scheme is set to have a major presence along Dubai's Sheikh Zayed Road, which forms the city's main artery.

Featuring a revolutionary ovoid design, the tower comprises two identical double-curved shells, rotated and cantilevered over the podium. The interface between the tower and the podium features prayer rooms, a gym and an outdoor pool.

The futuristic development is intended to provide prestige office space to some of the world's leading companies, and will sit in a business region akin to New York's Manhattan or London's Square Mile.

Atkins is developing Iris Bay on behalf of owner/developer Sheth Estates International Ltd.
