Dubai is adding a ‘Sky Pool’ to its new developments
Dubai, renowned for its record-breaking architecture and luxurious lifestyle, is set to welcome another iconic development: the Regent Residences Dubai. Designed by the globally acclaimed architecture studio Foster + Partners, this new project promises to redefine opulence with its innovative design and striking features.
A Vision in the Sky
Located in the prestigious Business Bay area on the Marasi Marina, the Regent Residences Dubai will consist of two 180-meter-tall residential skyscrapers connected by an awe-inspiring penthouse-level swimming pool. This sky pool, seemingly floating between the towers, is set to become one of the city’s most talked-about architectural features. It’s not just a pool; it’s a statement of luxury, exclusivity, and visionary design.
Residences with a Cascading Touch
The development will house 60 exclusive apartments, each occupying its own floor, offering residents uninterrupted panoramic views of Dubai’s iconic landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa. Every apartment will feature a private pool on a staggered outdoor terrace, creating the illusion of cascading water along the building’s facade. This dynamic design perfectly complements Dubai’s reputation for blending modernity with natural beauty.
The Crown Jewel: The Penthouse
At the pinnacle of luxury is the penthouse that connects the two towers. Spanning both skyscrapers, it boasts a swimming pool suspended high above the city, offering a surreal experience of swimming in the sky. This architectural marvel embodies the essence of Foster + Partners’ design philosophy: innovation that inspires.
More Than Just Residences
Beyond the apartments, Regent Residences Dubai offers a complete lifestyle experience. The towers will rise from a podium featuring lush green spaces, tranquil water features, fine dining restaurants, boutique retail outlets, and wellness amenities such as a state-of-the-art gym. A series of indoor and outdoor pools will be available for residents, adding to the resort-like atmosphere of the development.
Blending Nature and Urban Living
Gerard Evenden, head of studio at Foster + Partners, highlighted the project’s connection to nature:
“Regent Residences Dubai’s dynamic twisting form and articulated facade will make it a distinctive new addition to Business Bay and the wider city. Our design harnesses connections to nature, with generous shaded terraces and optimized views of the waterfront.”
This commitment to nature is evident throughout the development, from the shaded terraces that provide respite from the desert heat to the seamless integration of the podium with the Marasi Marina promenade.
A New Icon for Dubai
The Regent Residences Dubai is set to join an elite group of luxury residential projects, including Foster + Partners’ other waterfront creations like the Vela and Vela Viento towers. As Dubai continues to push the boundaries of architectural innovation, developments like this reaffirm its position as a global leader in luxury living and design.
