Dutch designers unveil 210-metre Dubai tower with jewel-like orb suspended between floors. A striking new skyscraper crowned with a glowing, pearl-like orb could soon reshape Dubai's skyline. Designed by Dutch studio MVRDV, the 210-metre tower, called Inaura, is planned for Downtown Dubai and aims to stand out among its towering neighbours. Its defining feature is a luminous, egg-shaped orb set three-quarters up the building, glowing behind a glazed facade like a jewel. From afar, the orb appears as a calm floating light, while up close it becomes an inhabitable Sky Lounge with panoramic Burj Khalifa views. At ground level, the tower rises from a four-storey plinth of restaurants and grand lobbies, topped by a gym, spa, and infinity pool. The lower and middle floors will house a 101-room hotel and 105 apartments, with seven floors of sky villas above.
