At 284 meters and 80 floors, the D1 Tower will be one of the taller skyscrapers in Dubai . The building is located in the Culture Village, a newly built cultural district on Dubai Creek . The building reached its final height in autumn 2013. The construction work started in 2007 should be completed in the same year of the topping-out ceremony .
The four canopies around the base of the building form an impressive contrast to the height and dramatic architecture of the glass high-rise facade due to their free form and materiality in wood. Its shape alludes to the traditional sailing ship in the Gulf region, the dhow .
