The client’s vision was to create a new landmark in Dubai, combining a lens manufactory, exhibition space, retail areas, and offices.

STUDIOI aimed to design a building that not only stands out but also reflects its distinctive functions, extending the user experience beyond its walls. To achieve this, the firm envisioned a structure resembling a diamond. The design involved strategically extruding and shearing the mass at the corners, deviating from traditional cubic forms. The facade was triangulated to create a dynamic rhythm of protruding elements, mimicking the reflections and refractions of diamonds while also providing protection from solar radiation.
