Foster + Partners, the renowned British architectural firm, has unveiled the designs for two groundbreaking residential towers, Vela and Vela Viento, in Dubai's prestigious Marasi Bay. These towers, being developed by Omniyat, are set to redefine luxury waterfront living in Dubai, mirroring the architectural essence of The Lana, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, and also a Foster + Partners and Omniyat collaboration.

Vela, reaching a height of 150 meters, will offer 272,860 square feet of living space across 30 floors. It will house 38 ultra-luxury residences, including three to four bedrooms and expansive penthouses. These homes are designed with double-height living areas, large private terraces, and unique L-shaped corner pools, embodying the pinnacle of luxury and architectural innovation.

Adding to its allure, Vela will feature two central penthouses that connect the tower's north and south sides, offering panoramic 360-degree views of the city. These penthouses are meticulously designed with double-height spaces and private pools, maximizing the enjoyment of Dubai's iconic sunsets through their expansive bay windows.

The crown jewel of Vela is the Sky Palace, a lavish residence spanning three levels. It boasts a triple-height private terrace offering unmatched city views, a private lift lobby, and a grand arrival gallery, setting a new standard for luxury living in Marasi Bay.

Standing 180 meters high and with 41 floors, Vela Viento presents unparalleled views of Marasi Bay, the Burj Khalifa, and Downtown Dubai. Its 92 residences include unique bridge apartments and are topped by two majestic double-height penthouses, each with a sprawling terrace and private pool.

Vela, Vela Viento, and The Lana share a design philosophy that incorporates a distinct horizontal rhythm, structured voids, and generous outdoor spaces. This trio significantly contributes to the transformation and beautification of Dubai’s Marasi Bay waterfront.

Gerard Evenden, Head of Studio at Foster + Partners, highlights the towers' integration with the marina landscape and the thoughtful design elements that enhance the living experience, including landscaped terraces, an indoor-outdoor pool, and sky amenity levels featuring infinity pools and panoramic city views.

These towers stand as architectural masterpieces and symbols of Dubai's vision for the future of luxury living, seamlessly blending design excellence with unparalleled lifestyle offerings.
