Positioned in front of the grand Burj Khalifa is Sabrah. Three water walls, made of volcanic rock, erupt from an underground basin, piercing through a wide, circular opening above. With their backs hugging one another, each of the three looming walls is lined with a red, effervescent interior. Sabrah’s sparkling, ruby center is best seen beaming against the dark night sky while visitors peer over the edge of this circular expanse. Its basin generates a gentle wave, which creates an undulating rhythm amidst the bustle below, as this towering water feature opens up to the sky.
Glowing with energy, Alluvion welcomes visitors to the entry of Tower Park. An inner circle and outer perimeter pools of pulsing water envelop arriving guests with continuously developing patterns and waves.
Onda offers both children and adults a place to amuse—and immerse— themselves through the bliss of water’s simplicity. Half is a sand-colored field of tiny jets, which pitches small pops of water into the air; the other half, a rainbowed wading pool generating gently rolling waves. Feet splashing through the water is wonderfully matched with the sound of children’s contagious laughter; squeals of delight and unpredictable spurts of water surprise young and old.
Mimeo is a family of shallow, reflective water pools that terrace down a stunning landscape. Appearing as slices of horizontal glass, these pools are in fact crystal, flat plates of still water. Mimeo’s purpose is to reflect, in expansive size, the magnitude of the Dubai Tower, which is seen mirrored in its entirety among the pools.
Lying outside the residential tower is Strata. Residents cross into a majestically serene environment as they walk through arcs of grass-laden, sloping water walls. At night while beautifully lit, Strata’s curved ramps emerge from the earth providing a lighted path for a relaxing stroll through tree-lined lawns. Strata’s sister feature, Stricia, has a similarly patterned structure and incorporates rapidly pulsing water jets.
