Downtown
Burj Dubai
The Old Town
The development ranges from low-rise three storey
apartment buildings to a number of exclusive mid-rise towers with Penthouses.
Architectural cues are taken from traditional buildings, including
the Al-Bastakia neighbourhood of Bur Dubai and the residences of Sheikh
Saeed Al-Maktoum and Mohammed Shareef Boukash – with textures
that reflect the gypsum, clay or sarjool plastering used in the early
twentieth century. Earthy natural tones reflect the surrounding landscape.
Terraces, balconies, parapets (waresh), pergolas, recesses and niches
make for comfortable outdoor living, whilst views are enhanced with
elegant window and door openings.
