Located within Burj Khalifa district of Dubai, the Opus is designed as two separate towers that coalesce into a singular whole, taking the form of a cube. The two towers are linked by a four-storey atrium at ground level and also connected by an asymmetric 38-m wide three-storey brdge that is 71 meters above the ground. The free-formed fluidity of the Opus' eight-storey void contrasts with the precise orthogonal geometry of it's surrounding cube Image Credit: zaha-hadid.com
