"Herzog & de Meuron takes to the UAE to design Janu Dubai, a mixed-use development bridging hotel, residences and workspaces. The single vertical address is set to be developed by H&H in partnership with Aman Group, and will introduce the Janu brand to Dubai through a pixelated tower recognized by curving columns. Sited at Al Mustaqbal Street and 17th Street, the building will occupy a major spot within the financial district's dense grid of offices, galleries, and restaurants."
"Herzog and Meuron shape Janu Dubai with a sculpted mineral massing and planted terraces tactile architecture to contrast a glassy skyline Herzog & de Meuron design the Janu Dubai tower with a compact, sculpted massing that reads as mineral and weighty against Dubai's glassy skyline. Shadow and texture is favored over reflective glass, as terraces and planted edges carve depth into the facade."
"The fifty-seven residences occupy the most panoramic levels, organized with a range of layouts that extend from two bedroom homes to a triplex penthouse of over 11,000 square feet. Interiors are defined by high ceilings that reach up to 3.5 meters, broad windows, and a restrained palette of hand finished plaster, natural timber floors, and monolithic stone kitchens and baths."
Janu Dubai will rise at Al Mustaqbal Street and 17th Street within Dubai's financial district, occupying 1.3 million square feet and hosting a 150-room hotel, 57 branded residences, a private members' club, offices, and retail. Herzog & de Meuron model the tower as a compact, sculpted mineral mass emphasized by recesses, projecting volumes, and planted terraces that carve depth into the facade. Balconies and gardens form outdoor rooms, soften the perimeter, and bring greenery into interiors. Residences range from two-bedroom homes to an 11,000+ square foot triplex penthouse with ceilings up to 3.5 meters and high-quality natural finishes. A landscaped, set-back residential entry leads to an 18-meter-high lobby.
