With its completion, Wasl Tower now hosts the region’s tallest building to feature a ceramic facade, a robust material chosen for its cultural significance and durability. Thousands of ceramic fins provide shading, reduce heat radiation and capture high winds, adapting to the desert climate while reducing cooling loads by approximately 10% compared to older towers in the city. Ceramics, a traditional material in the region, were reimagined by UNS for high-rise application, combining low-tech manufacturing methods with advanced design techniques. Its reinvention at scale signals a continuity between material heritage and modern innovation. The facade operates as a 360-degree system, layered in response to the building’s solar orientation. The ceramic fins form a protective cloak that wraps around the tower, acting as a passive environmental filter. Their placement and configuration on the facade, developed through parametric modelling, balances environmental performance with aesthetics. The fins allow daylight to penetrate deep into the interior while shielding incident solar heat gain, supporting both energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Each composite ceramic fin features a custom terracotta profile, baked with a metallic glaze that enables it to transform visually throughout the day and seasons. As the fins channel wind around the building, integrated aluminum grills enable the airflow to cool the heat absorbed by the ceramic modules, while the cavity between the fins and the tower’s interior curtainwall system further supports passive cooling. This dual-purpose envelope combines functionality with expressive design, creating a facade that is both energy efficient and visually striking. This veil also houses a custom lighting system, designed in partnership with Arup Lighting, that is programmed to reflect the ever-changing rhythm of the 24-hour city. Subtle shifts in tone and intensity animate the facade after dark, turning the building into an active participant in the urban landscape. By pairing traditional materials with advanced engineering, the Wasl Tower facade offers a scalable approach that brings design quality, high performance, and environmental responsibility together, setting out a model that can be applied to more sustainable high-rise projects worldwide.

穿行城市之间
A walk in the city

Wasl Tower并非一座孤立的建筑，而是连接基础设施、城市功能与人群的核心枢纽。作为谢赫·扎耶德路西侧首座同等规模的超高层建筑，Wasl Tower巧妙连接了迪拜两大特色区域：哈利法塔周边的商业群落与 City Walk 的街区式商业。为回应这一特殊地段，设计规划了半公共区域、共享设施与架高的聚会空间，以创造更多互动机会。除了大楼的居民、酒店住客和员工，包括7家餐厅和酒吧在内的诸多设施也向广大公众开放。

Wasl Tower functions not as a standalone object, but as an urban node connecting infrastructure, programme, and people. As the first high-rise of its scale on the west side of Sheikh Zayed Road, Wasl Tower bridges two distinct areas of Dubai: the commercial cluster around Burj Khalifa and the street-based development of City Walk. As a response to this distinctive location, the design features semi-public zones, shared amenities, and elevated gathering spaces to create opportunities for interaction and engagement. As such, the tower was designed to welcome not only residents, hotel guests, and employees, but the wider public can also enjoy its seven restaurants and bars.

核心筒的垂直动线系统确保了不同业态之间的顺畅过渡与高效运营，同时隐蔽地整合了后勤功能，将其与公共区域完全隔离。精心编排的电梯策略为不同空间规划了清晰、独立的动线。3部高速直达电梯串联起首层、水疗中心、空中大堂和屋顶4个主要区域，在150米的高空汇集了公共业态与酒店入口。核心筒内设有4部办公电梯与4部客房电梯，高层住宅则拥有直达地下室的专属电梯组。大楼共计配备17部电梯，其中5部为服务电梯。停车楼内还包含一个1,500平方米的无柱宴会厅及绿色庭院，通过连廊与主塔楼相连，进一步提升了可达性与整体的城市体验。依托Werner Sobek绿色科技公司制定的“益于人类，益于环境”框架，健康、舒适和优异的运营性能被深植于项目之中。这座建筑不仅服务于各类人群的日常生活，更积极推动着迪拜地面层城市体验的持续优化。

A central vertical circulation system ensures smooth transitions between programmes while maintaining operational efficiency, and discreetly incorporates back-of-house functions that ensure separation from the public areas of the building. The lift strategy choreographs clear, separate journeys for each programme. Three highspeed express lifts stitch together the four primary lobbies – ground, spa, sky, and rooftop – convening the public programme and the hotel arrival at 150 metres. A shared bank of four office and four guestroom lifts occupy a central shaft, while upperlevel residences use a dedicated group with direct basement access; in total, 17 lifts operate throughout, five of them for service. The parking structure also includes a 1,500 m2 column-free ballroom with a green courtyard that connects directly to the tower via a bridge, enhancing connectivity and creating a cohesive urban experience. Health, comfort, and operational performance were embedded into the project through a ‘Good for the People, Good for the Environment’ framework, developed by Werner Sobek Green Technologies. The result is a building that supports daily life across different user groups and contributes to the ongoing transformation of Dubai’s ground-level urban experience.

以可持续、科技与健康为核心
Sustainability, technology, and health to the core

Wasl Tower 的设计与建造采用了一系列创新技术，旨在提升效率并降低对环境的影响。立面的陶瓷百叶显著减少了热量吸收与制冷需求，太阳能光热板和反射玻璃则进一步提升了能源效率。塔楼的照明系统配备了日光响应调节功能，配合LED照明，使涉及周边区域的能耗降低了高达20%。集成热泵系统与区域集中供冷大幅缩减了碳足迹。材料选择方面，建筑广泛使用了环保的当地花岗岩和铝材、再生 PET 声学板以及低挥发性有机化合物的饰面。室外区域则通过被动式冷却设计与茂密的植被，营造出宜人的微气候。

The design and construction of Wasl Tower incorporated a range of innovations to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The ceramic fins on the facade reduce solar gain and cooling demand, while solar thermal panels and reflective glazing improve energy efficiency. The tower’s lighting is also managed through daylight-responsive systems, and LED lighting reduces perimeter-zone energy use by up to 20%. An integrated heat pump system and district cooling further reduce the carbon footprint. Materials were selected for their environmental performance, with regionally sourced granite and aluminum, recycled PET acoustic panels, and low-VOC finishes used throughout. Outdoor areas feature passive cooling and planting to create comfortable microclimates.

塔楼的结构系统兼顾了高效与灵活。后张法楼板、混合混凝土柱和机电层的外伸桁架，共同打造了内部少柱的高效平面布局。这是在迪拜首开先河的工程策略创举；它使得混凝土总用量减少了3,000立方米。此外，设计高度重视健康与舒适度，通过基于二氧化碳浓度的通风控制系统、充足的自然采光、开放式楼面以及清晰的空间导向，全面提升了使用者的身心健康。Wasl Tower是UNS持续创新的有力证明。在积极响应阿联酋气候议程的同时，成功打造了一个以人为本的高性能空间。

The tower’s structural system was designed for efficiency and flexibility. Post-tensed floor slabs, hybrid concrete columns, and mechanical-level outriggers enabled an efficient floorplate with minimal internal columns. This approach, which had never been used before in Dubai, resulted in 3,000 cubic metres less concrete used in total. Additionally, health and user-comfort were prioritised, with CO2-based ventilation controls, natural daylight access, open floorplates, and clear spatial orientation promoting user wellbeing. Wasl Tower stands as a testament to UNS’s continuous drive for innovation – creating people-centered, high-performance environments in step with the UAE’s climate agenda.

独一无二的酒店体验
One-of-a-kind hotel

位于大楼内的迪拜市中心文华东方酒店，是设计团队与酒店运营商及负责室内设计的GA Design紧密合作的结晶。这种合作为建筑概念与奢华的酒店体验带来了高度的统一。酒店空间被划分为多个“垂直街区”，康养设施、餐饮区及活动空间错落有致地分布在不同楼层。设计清晰梳理了公共到达区、私人服务区与共享设施之间的动线。会议室与庆典空间等公共活动场所设置在较低楼层，从首层即可直接步入，并与景观庭院相连，确保了空间的通透感与连贯性。

The Mandarin Oriental Downtown hotel within Wasl Tower was developed in close collaboration with the hotel operator and GA Design – who were responsible for the interior design concept of the hotel areas. This ensured alignment between the architectural concept and the hotel’s specific requirements. As such, the organisation is divided into vertical neighbourhoods, with wellness facilities, dining areas, and event spaces distributed across several levels. The design supports a clear relationship between public arrival, private services, and shared amenities. Public event spaces, such as meeting rooms and celebration areas, are located on the lower levels and remain fully accessible from the ground floor. These spaces open directly onto the ground floor and landscaped courtyard, ensuring transparency and connectivity.

位于35至37层的酒店空中大堂为宾客带来了独特的抵达体验。61和62层的深夜社交场所提供了俯瞰城市的绝佳视野，而11和12层的康养设施则是一处远离都市喧嚣的静谧之所。这种空间布局生动体现了塔楼的宏观设计目标，将高端酒店体验嵌入到了这座综合体的每一个维度。凭借建筑与室内体验深度融合的卓越理念，迪拜市中心文华东方酒店荣获了中东地区知名设计大奖，即2025年Identity设计大奖中的“酒店类建筑大奖”。

The hotel lobby, located on Levels 35 to 37, offers a unique arrival experience. Late-evening venues on Levels 61 and 62 provide elevated views of the city, while wellness facilities on Levels 11 and 12 offer a retreat from the urban environment. This spatial arrangement reflects the tower’s broader design goals, integrating hospitality with the building’s mixed-use programme and embedding a hospitality experience throughout the entire structure. Reflecting the project’s integrated approach to architecture and interior experience, Mandarin Oriental Downtown Dubai was recognised with the Architecture: Hotel award at the 2025 Identity Design Awards, which celebrate excellence in design across the Middle East.
