great design! I like these towers, I'll give it a 9

GoDubai! · March 6th, 2006, 09:26 PM

Classy--9.0. But I expect there will be even better in the Marina in time.

it's a nice and quite original design that has a very 'beachy' like appearance. very appropriate considering its location. the green glass and white masonry contrast each other well. the spires are rather fat though...

8.5

Jolie mais un peu vulgaire quand même. I mean who does live there? How many people live in Dubai? Looking better at the pics I think I like the old houses standing before it better, they look more humane to me...
I don't understand this megalomane things, it's a bit childish...Okay they are really impressive but WHY?

A very nice pair, much better than it's neighbours and a style that I like. 9/10

Well the shape is definitely right-on for these two; it is always best to go with curving forms when working with twins in order for them to flow into a single idea as opposed to blocky designs that compete for attention (a la WTC). However, like a lot of designs in Dubai, these towers suffer from design frivolity making them look far too over-wrought. So many of the design elements are simply not necessary and are not cohesive. The curtain wall is fantastic, but I wish there was a way to have it wrap around all sides of the building as it looks awful when contrasted against the concrete on the one side.

6.5/10

Al Fattan Marine Towers along with Jumeirah Beach Residence... this is what this mini skyline will look like in about a year

malec · April 4th, 2006, 02:46 PM

Too bad the potential for a great beachfront skyline has been wasted. Oh well, the al fattan towers still look good. BTW, is there any chance of getting some good pics from the marina side aswell since the existing one doesn't show that side off too well

Krazy · April 4th, 2006, 04:15 PM

You would have to ask one of the UAE forumers who are in Dubai... like Altind

Pengui · April 14th, 2006, 08:32 AM

Front side looks great, back side is so-so...
Overall a very good looking building, but it falls short of being iconic imo.

Really like these towers. I wish they were taller, because they could be top 10 in the world I think. 9.5

10/10 it's a new dimension for residential highrise
