Description
The Kensington Krystal is an office building in Martime City, Dubai, with a small amount of retail space. The design concept of the tower is to create a unique landmark by adopting the idea of a dynamic “black crystal”, rare and valuable, standing at the marina harbor. The building form was inspired by the Kensington logo - “K”. The rising crystal tower gives an appearance of sharpness, elegance and energy. Its dynamic form commands attention along the waterfront. The tower envelope is carefully crafted to carry through this idea to form a series of harmonic proportions.
