The proposed Arshia Marina development at Dubai Marina will comprise a 30-storey residential tower set upon a podium of 5 storey containing commercial and various ancillary areas. The tower has been designed to act as a prominent icon in the marina, offering a unique and distinct from that addresses the marina and waterfront. The podium, however, is intended to welcome and invite visitors on a more human scale. As the plot is adjacent to the waterfront, several design features have been incorporated into both the style of the water and podium that are indicative of a marina development. White crisp curved cladding panels sculpt the mass of the tower and extend from the podium and sail all the way up past the roof deck. Yet another dynamic response to the marina is where the resulting effect is a building that presents passers-by with an ever-changing impression of the tower, which is interesting from every angle.
