Tema: Dubai (EAU): The Pentominium. 516 m, 120 plantas.

¡¡Jo con Malec!!

Lento, pero inexorable, el avance de la construcción de este monstruo.

Muchas gracias por el seguimiento. Rep

Para variar ...Interiores bastante horteras.....

Flipante decían por ahí arriba ...?

Flipante va a ser cuando se acabe el petróleo y descubran que NADIE participa de la fantasía
turística inventada por 4 Jeques con sobrepeso, para una zona del mundo en que las mujeres
se bañan en la playa ........envueltas en una "sábana" !

Sí, vale, y qué?
Esto no quita que seguimos la construcción de los edificios, que miremos las obras y que flipemos por todo lo que han construido.
No seas tan categórico, porqué la verdad universal no existe (o no la conocemos) y dí que los interiores a ti te parecen horteras, porqué a mi no me lo parecen.

El petróleo, en Dubai, ya se ha acabado y de momento el éxito de "la fantasía turística de 4 jeques con sobrepeso" es incontestable, entre otras cosas porque no es sólo una fantasía turística, sino un hub regional de primer orden económico y sino pregunta a cualquiera que trabaje en IT en Europa el daño que les están haciendo India y EAU.

Sobre que los edificios son una horterada... difícilmente rebatible.

Contractors appointed to world's tallest residential tower set for Dubai


A glimmer of light has been shed over the gloom of Dubai's construction industry this week as contractors have been appointed to work on the world's tallest residential tower, set to grace the skies of Dubai in just two years.

Pentominium, designed by Dr Andrew Bromberg, Executive Director at Aedas, is currently the 6th tallest building under construction but not topped out according to statistics from the Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Once completed - by the newly appointed Lebanese construction firm, Arabian Construction Co - it will provide 116,200 sq m floor space...and a much needed lift of confidence in the Dubai market.
Not the austere symbol expected of a land in financial turmoil, the Pentominium will maintain the modern ethos we've all come to expect from Dubai: 'more is more'. Trident International Holdings have collaborated with some big players to offer the height of luxury. Complete with a banquet room, sky lounge, observation deck, business centre and even its own cigar lounge sponsored by a collaboration with Davidoff fine cigars, if you like hotel-living this could be right up your street.

The tower itself is not out of place in Dubai. It's tall, really tall at 516 m. But what makes the design intriguing is its height to width ratio - this is an extremely slim-line design. Aedas explain the shape resulted from the project's main challenges of 'density/proximity to neighbours and the extreme environmental pressures of Dubai'. Addressing this issue the building is split into two sides, one which features a system of balconies and a vertical layer of glass to mitigate solar gain, and one which is staggered with sky gardens and apartment pods of one storey height, breaking up the density and offering privacy to outdoor space.
Having won several awards at the Arabian Property Awards before the financial crisis hit, the appointment of a contractor is a positive sign that quality projects can pull through the tough times, even in Dubai.
