Anara Tower


Anara Tower was a proposed supertall skyscraper located in Dubai. It would have been 600 m (1,968 ft) tall with 135 floors. It was designed to look like a massive wind turbine. If it was ever built the tower was supposed to be a mixed use tower with offices, retail spaces, apartments, and an art gallery. Anara Tower would have incorporated sky gardens every 27 floors and would have contained a luxury restaurant. It was to have been constructed as an energy efficient tower by installing renewable sources of energy and incorporating water efficiency strategies.
The building was cancelled in 2009.

A New Luxury Housing Concept: Sky Condos by DCPP Arquitectos


Located in a privileged area in the city of Lima with views towards the golf course, DCPP Arquitectos creates an icon for the future in their design for a new luxury housing concept in Latin America. According to the architect: “Each one with a clear individuality using the privative exterior spaces as our main core.

These terraces fill the apartment with natural light and create a game of lights and shadows.”
