Zaha in Dubai : the Opus
More from Dubai! If there’s one thing I can say about the UAE, its that they do fund some kick ass projects with all that money – which is something I can get behind. Here we have a new project by Omniyat Properties, the people who brought us the iPad Tower, this time with a design by starchitect Zaha Hadid. The project, dubbed ‘the Opus‘, will appear to be a distorted cube that is hovering from the ground – a cube formed, it seems, by three separate towers that seem to twist and melt together to form a single volume.
A commercial tower[s], the Opus will have retail for the first few floors – and a ‘tranquility zone’ along the uppermost stories, which will include a rooftop beach deck with a reflecting pool and shaded terrace. Other amenities within the upper floors include a gym and a media zone.

Here’s what Omniyat Properties has to say about the project:
The Opus is an AAA commercial tower in the Business Bay district of Dubai which reflects Omniyat Properties’ passion for innovation as well as the creative genius of the architect Zaha Hadid.
Designed by the award winning architect Zaha Hadid, The Opus will change the way you look at commercial towers.
As a revolutionary concept in offices with AAA-class rating and 87% efficiency, The Opus will combine form and functionality to create an office unlike any other.
The Opus will change the way people look at your organization, if you’re one of the privileged few to have an office in this tower. As with every Omniyat Properties’ project, it is designed to be self sufficient with every amenity and convenience essential to modern day business demands.
