73-storey Muraba Veil residential project announced

Muraba Veil will exceed 380m in height, and each apartment is the width of the entire building, at 22.5m

Spanish group RCR Arquitectes has joined forces with Dubai-based Muraba to create the Muraba Veil – a 73-storey tower featuring 131 residential units along with a range of curated leisure amenities.

According to a statement, this is the fifth collaboration between RCR and Muraba over 10-years. Earlier in that relationship, RCR Arquitectes were honoured, by being named – in 2017 – the Pritzker Prize Laureates.

Muraba Veil will exceed 380m in height, and each apartment is the width of the entire building, at 22.5m, the statement highlighted.

Approved and registered with RERA, the tower will feature two- to five-bedroom exclusive residences, together with a range of curated leisure amenities including a wellness spa, restaurant, gallery, padel court, private meeting rooms and a private cinema. There will be an emphasis on biophilia and open access to green, landscaped surroundings.

The Spanish-Dubai JV has signed up leading engineering consulting firm WSP for the Muraba Veil project, with client advisory services to be provided by ARUP.

Ibrahim Al Ghurair, Managing Director, Muraba said, “This is more than a beautiful residence. What we set out to achieve is a life-enhancing work of architecture, which speaks to the heritage of the built environment of the UAE. We want Muraba Veil to be synonymous with exquisite serenity; with the same calm that you feel when you enter the courtyard of an Arabic house.”

Rafael Aranda, the Founder of RCR Arquitectes added, “We are passionate about ensuring our buildings are responsive to the place, that they belong to the site and the native landscape where they are situated. They must communicate with nature and be infused with the atmosphere of the local culture. The building is revealed behind a series of layers, the first being the ‘Veil’ itself – a bespoke stainless steel mesh, porous and responsive, reflecting the different shades of the sky, and de-materialising the architecture’s presence.”
