A Muraba development, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning RCR Arquitectes
This ultra-narrow silhouette, at just 22.5 metres wide, is a vision brought to life to tap into the future of ambitious developments. Muraba Veil is a 74-storey residential building under development in Al Wasl, Dubai, passionately principled by designs that call for a private sanctuary high above in the Dubai sky. Designed like an oasis with nods to Arabesque style, this development brings gardens and water features to every floor, creating a sense of calm from the hustle and bustle of the city.
With 131 dual-aspect residences, the outer layers protect the inner home, much like the typical Arabian courtyard house, with places to connect - conviviality at its core. As the units face two directions, it allows for optimal airflow, and its niche design explores privacy, also featuring multiple deep terraces along its length, on both the north- and south-facing façades, creating an environment that enables shade, greenery and fresh natural ventilation within every space.
To say, the "veil"- the building's defining element - acts as a bridge between yesterday and tomorrow. The project sits amid Dubai Water Canal and is designed by Pritzker Prize-winning studio RCR Arquitectes, who are masters at epitomising designs that speak volumes of ethereal elegance.
Two Bedrooms: Serene two-bedroom residences pair refined interiors with generous proportions, providing an elevated introduction to Muraba Veil living experience.
Family Residences: Three- to five-bedroom homes offer expansive layouts, designed for privacy, entertaining and comfortable family living above the canal.
Full Width: Every home spans the tower’s complete 22.5-metre width, creating dual-aspect layouts with panoramic views from both sides.
Signature Homes: Select residences include private pools, multi-level duplex layouts and a landmark five-bedroom penthouse, offering exceptional scale and exclusivity.
Creating a distinctive silhouette, Muraba Veil outshines within the Water Canal, approximately 380 metres above, a 73-storey ultra-slender tower, placing residents within a short reach of Sheikh Zayed Road, Safa Park and Jumeirah Beach
Designed by RCR Arquitectes, recipients of the 2017 Pritzker Prize, Muraba Veil reflects the studio’s architectural precision through a perforated, mashrabiya-inspired façade, generous terraces and a design language shaped by light, privacy and climate
Water, planting and garden terraces are integrated throughout the vertical structure, creating a home environment that remains connected to greenery, natural textures and the calming presence of water at every level
Dune, Muraba Veil’s subterranean wellness club, is shaped around the contours of desert sand dunes and rises beneath dramatic 12-metre ceilings, housing experiential pools, sauna and steam facilities, plus multiple treatment pools for restorative daily rituals
The project comprises 131 private residences across two- to five-bedroom configurations, including apartments and duplexes, providing a more considered degree of privacy than densely populated luxury towers while maintaining elevated canal and city views
At the top, residents can access rooftop dining, a lounge and swimming pool overlooking Dubai’s skyline and canal, supported by a private cinema, café-gallery, padel court, concierge and valet services
Capturing the imagination of the industry, this razor-thin apartment tower marks a pivotal moment for eco-conscious design and the future of sustainable, compact architecture. It fits into the local context both through its deference to tradition and by pushing the envelope with a bold glimpse of what the future could look like. While Dubai has always been ahead in the race of progress, Muraba Veil is one of those projects that will add another feather to the city’s cap of achievements beyond the power of imagination. At a height of 380 metres and a width of only 22.5 metres, the veil is pierced to allow sunlight to filter through and create the effect of ribbons of air current, vanishing into the haze of Dubai from a distance. That is at a distance, but up close, one can see how the design serves to allow the air to pass through it, facilitating natural ventilation and, at the same time, protecting the privacy of the residents from the blazing sun of the desert, reducing the need for air conditioning. Drawing inspiration from the rich architectural heritage, the veil is reminiscent of the traditional Mashrabiya, but in a modern way. The structure tucks away most of its 131 apartments on 73 levels, offering a choice of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom duplexes. Inside, the design follows the lead of the exterior, providing residents with expansive spaces with a view. Every apartment is a private domain, as each occupies a whole floor. Splashes of warm greys, beiges, and browns create a welcoming atmosphere, while the sunlight adds to the coziness of the space, with delicate strands of greens swinging like a crown. Fully stretching from the top to bottom, the windows provide an uninterrupted view, while shades and overhangs provide the necessary privacy. The open-plan kitchens flow into the dining and living areas, with lots of storage space hidden away in the cabinets and other furniture. At the lower level, there is a spa with hydrotherapy pools, steam rooms, and a courtyard, offering residents a chance to unwind and escape the city's electric atmosphere. The communal areas are multifunctional, offering flexible spaces for hosting, with an amphitheatre for performances, a cinema, and a restaurant. On level 31, be amused to step into a gigantic majlis that can be utilised for meetings, gatherings, and occasions, and the rooftop pools combine lush greenery with deep wellness to create a true oasis. Altogether, the layouts boast a traditional courtyard, but arranged to serve the spark of a modern home. Muraba Veil serves as a model for future cities, proving that it is possible to combine the needs of modern life with traditional aesthetics, all designed by Pritzker Prize-winning RCR Arquitectes, the renowned Spanish studio celebrated for creating architecture that feels closely connected to its surroundings.
