Dubai: If Emily Cooper from her titular hit Emily in Paris ever graduated from quirky Parisian rooftops and Carrie Bradshaw from SATC finally traded shoe closets for square footage, they’d both be swooning over this Dh150 million slice of sky-high sophistication.

Because let’s be honest — when the late dame Zaha Hadid designs your home, you’re not just living in a penthouse. You’re living inside a sculpture.

Welcome to The Opus by Omniyat — the iconic glass-and-steel cube in Business Bay that looks like it’s melting mid-air.

Wrapped in 4,544 curved glass panels (each handcrafted, of course), this four-bedroom penthouse is less "look at me" and more "you wish." There’s no gold, no glitz, no overcompensating. Just serious design confidence and open spaces that allows you to exhale.

Inside, it’s pure gallery-chic. Five-metre ceilings, black steel beams, Santa Marina marble floors — this place doesn’t do basic. If your idea of home includes Minotti sofas, custom Bocci lights, and not a single visible switch or appliance in sight, then yes — you’ve arrived.

Now let’s talk living rooms. Because one just wouldn’t do. One is dressed for drama — all clean lines and curated cool — while the other’s made for barefoot binge-watching, preferably with your favourite mocktail in hand. It’s giving “editorial shoot at 3, snacks by 4.”

The kitchen? Designed by Armani. Executed by Molteni. Fully loaded with hidden Miele everything and not a single messy corner in sight. It’s where form meets function and politely pretends not to know what a dirty dish is. And because even glamour needs a backup plan, there’s a whole second “functional” kitchen tucked discreetly behind. A quiet flex — the best kind.

Slide open the doors and step onto 4,200 square feet of sky garden drama. There’s a plunge pool, a ten-seater BBQ setup, wraparound terraces, and an oversized swing that’s part playground, part Pinterest board. Whether you’re catching the sunset or pretending to meditate while sneakily filming content, this outdoor space delivers.

The master suite? Let’s just say it doesn’t believe in subtle entrances. Five-metre ceilings, a freestanding black marble bathtub (more art than tub), and wardrobes that feel like you’ve stepped into a designer boutique. It’s peaceful, polished, and perfectly prepped for quiet main-character moments.

Guest bedrooms don’t play second fiddle either. Three equally fabulous spaces mean no awkward “who gets the best room” debates. Everyone wins. Terraces for all, crisp linens, sculptural lighting — it’s hotel-level comfort with a dose of very intentional cool.

And then there’s the art. Because here, it isn’t hung — it’s built in. From moody monochrome photographs to bold installations, this penthouse doesn’t just feature art, it lives like one. Think less hotel lobby, more edgy uptown gallery curated by someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.

This home doesn’t try to impress. It already has. It’s curved, minimalist, and full of bold restraint — the kind of place that makes you stand a little taller just by walking through it.

So yes, if Emily in Paris finally got promoted and Carrie Bradshaw learned the art of less-is-more — and both of them found themselves in Dubai — this is where they’d unpack their curated lives. No labels necessary.
