The Terraces

Project type

A Dynamic Landmark Along the Highway

Date

March 2016

Location

Dubai, UAE

The Terraces redefines contemporary commercial architecture with its striking composition of layered horizontal planes and lush greenery. Designed to be experienced in motion, the building’s dynamic terraces respond to the speed of passing vehicles along the highway — creating a visual rhythm of movement, light, and shadow.

Each level shifts gracefully, generating outdoor terraces that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, while offering panoramic views and natural ventilation. The integration of greenery on every terrace reinforces the connection between urban life and nature, promoting sustainability and well-being.

At the base, transparent glass façades open the development to the public realm, activating the street level with retail, dining, and social spaces. Above, the stepped architectural form houses flexible commercial and office spaces — designed for a new generation of dynamic, creative professionals.

The Terraces is more than a building — it’s an architectural motion captured in form, reflecting the speed and vitality of the modern city.
