As part of a project for developing and shaping the UAE skyline with the theme of Organic Cities, the architects and designers of Luca Curci Architeccts studio designed a landmark for the skyline of United Arab Emirates.
Inspired by the ever-growing movement towards combining architecture with sustainable elements, Luca Curci Architects have been inspired to constructing and designing organic buildings that take inspiration of beehives, to be added to the skyline. The new landmark aims to mix pleasure with business by combining residential towers, retail shops, commercial spaces, cultural and recreational spaces, all in one. The target of the project being a place where friends and business partners and others can meet for social, business, commercial and learning opportunities.
