Opus Tower – Hotel & Serviced Apartments

Facade Design for Opus Tower

One of several unique buildings specified as part of master plan concept for Dubai, the Opus comprises two structures, conceived as a single cube eroded by a free-form void, which appears to ‘hover’ above ground-level. A pixilated reflective façade renders the cube full by day; by night, it ‘dematerializes’ as light floods the void.

Precise geometry analysis and 3D modeling was required to define all the different curvatures of the glass surface. The surface had to be divided, by a 3D free-form grid, into sub-surfaces, and each of them to be analyzed and classified to different curve categories, in order to manage the design and fabrication process to achieve the high performance smooth surface.
