Exploring Dubai's Architectural Marvels
Discover the breathtaking architectural wonders of Dubai, from suspended infinity pools to record-setting skyscrapers. Dive into the world of engineering feats and luxury amenities that redefine the skyline of this vibrant city.
The Ingenious Design of One Zaabeel
Dubai, a city known for its opulent landmarks, has unveiled its latest marvel in the form of One Zaabeel. This architectural masterpiece boasts the world's longest cantilever building, featuring a suspended infinity pool that stretches an impressive 120 meters into the sky.
The 120-meter-long (394-feet) pool at The Link is the UAE's longest suspended infinity pool.
The cantilever design, a structure supported at only one end, creates a stunning visual effect as it extends 100 meters above the ground. Aptly named 'The Link,' this 230-meter-long structure connects the twin towers of One Zaabeel, offering a unique space for residents and guests to enjoy shared facilities and luxury amenities.
The pool is 100 meters off the ground — with nothing but a six-lane highway below.
The Luxurious Experience at The Link
At the heart of The Link lies the UAE's longest suspended infinity pool, a dazzling oasis that defies gravity. Rising 25 meters high and wide, this architectural gem features three stories of leisure and relaxation for hotel guests and residents alike.
World's highest infinity pool: Dubai has another Guinness World Record to add to the pile. This rooftop oasis is the world's highest infinity pool inside a building.
Guests at the One&Only Zaabeel resort can indulge in a futuristic dining experience as they stroll along The Link's boulevard, surrounded by eight world-class restaurants. From poolside Nikkei cuisine to VIP cabanas overlooking the city, every detail is designed to elevate the luxury experience.
Jumeirah Gate: The rooftop pool is part of the Address Beach Resort at Jumeirah Gate, a striking new building that opened on the Dubai seafront in December.
Engineering Marvels and Record-Breaking Heights
The cantilever at One Zaabeel not only serves as a social hub but also plays a crucial role in the building's structural integrity. Designed to counterbalance the towers' slight lean, the cantilever strengthens the overall structure, showcasing the fusion of design and functionality in modern architecture.
Big bath: The pool is 1.2 meters deep at its deepest point and holds around 500 cubic meters of water.
Weighing a staggering 10,000 tons, The Link was meticulously constructed in eight parts and lifted into place over three days, a feat that required precision and innovation. Despite challenges and delays, this $1 billion project stands as a testament to Dubai's commitment to pushing the boundaries of architectural innovation.
Zeta Seventy Seven: The pool is only open to hotel guests, but you can cop a load of the views while staying dry by visiting the Zeta Seventy Seven restaurant.
