The proficiency of the craftsmen of Dubai, and the ancestral forms of the region's fishing nets, provide motivation for the geometry of D1's podium cover. The materials and timber construction are suggestive of the deep-sea dhow vessels associated with the Gulf region and its waterways. The resultant shade structure, so suggestive of the Mashrabiya (Arabian screens), pays authentic respect to local tradition, as the towering form of D1 rises above the life-enhancing shade of the cover. Now, passion and proficiency are the intertwined attributes that give rise to the ultra-modern structure of D1, in Dubai. D1 at Culture Village, Dubai Creek will enhance the built environment by blending rich Middle Eastern heritage and culture with today's technology, quality and modernity... A stunning 80-storey residential tower, rising 284 meters on the premier site of the Dubai Creek cultural and artistic precinct.
