D1 Tower is one of the main residential skyscrapers in Culture Village in Dubai with a height of 284 metres (932 ft) with 80 floors.
The Tower is the sister of the world's seventh tallest residential building, Q1 in Gold Coast, Australia.
The facades of D1, designed by Innovarchi (directors Ken McBryde and Stephanie Smith) enhance the form of the tower and emphasize the sheer nature of the layered glass curtain wall.
The timber canopy around the base, is inspired by the craft of Dhow trading boat construction that used to occur on the site.
[needs update] The undulating timber structure provides a shaded threshold between the air conditioned internal spaces, bright and hot exterior.
