In the prime core of Dubai’s Business Bay, a striking cube with a sculptural void at its center challenges architectural norms and redefines luxury urban living. This is The Opus Tower by Zaha Hadid, a truly iconic structure developed by Omniyat that stands out in Dubai’s skyline, not only for its unconventional form but for the vision it represents.
Designed by the late Dame Zaha Hadid, one of the most revered architects in the world, the Opus Tower is a celebration of futuristic design, spatial innovation, and functional luxury. More than just a building, it is an artwork you can live, work, and unwind in.
Zaha Hadid was known for her bold and fluid architectural style, and the Opus Tower is a true embodiment of her genius. While most towers in Dubai stretch skyward in predictable forms, the Opus breaks the mold with its perfect cube design and hollowed-out void in the center. This visual "hole" is not just an aesthetic statement—it’s a structural and spatial marvel that connects two towers into one cohesive unit.
Rather than standing as two separate towers, the structure appears as a single cube by day, cloaked in black mirrored glass, and transforms at night with illuminated edges and curvatures outlining the void. This gives it the appearance of a glowing sculpture floating in the Dubai skyline.
This creative duality—bold solidity and fluid transparency—epitomizes Hadid’s design philosophy: organic, yet geometric; functional, yet visually daring.
Completed in 2020, the Opus Tower spans approximately 84,300 square meters (907,400 square feet) across 21 floors. The building comprises two separate towers, connected at the ground level by a four-story atrium and at the top by a three-story sky bridge, which also houses part of the ME Dubai hotel.
The Void: At the center of the cube is an eight-story void, a negative space carefully sculpted to make the structure appear both light and dynamic. The void is sheathed in blue-tinted glass, contrasting with the black glass façade and creating an elegant yin-yang effect.
Connectivity: Despite being technically two towers, the structure operates as one. The sky bridge on the upper levels provides uninterrupted internal flow, while the lower atrium serves as a shared communal space.
Environmental Features: The Opus was designed with sustainable systems, including energy-efficient glazing, smart lighting, and climate-responsive technologies to meet Dubai’s Green Building standards.
The residential component of the Opus Tower offers 1, 2, and 3-bedroom luxury apartments, as well as penthouses with stunning views of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai. What sets these homes apart is that every interior detail—down to the lighting fixtures, countertops, and door handles—was handpicked or designed by Zaha Hadid.
Living in the Opus means immersing yourself in a space where every curve and line reflects the harmony between form and function. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to flood the interiors, and the fluid design language extends seamlessly from common areas into each private residence.
Owners also enjoy a private residents’ lounge, valet parking, and exclusive access to hotel facilities.
The Opus is home to the ME Dubai Hotel, operated by the Melia Group. The hotel features 74 rooms and 19 suites, including the luxurious "Passion Suite" and "Personality Suite". Remarkably, this is the only hotel in the world where Zaha Hadid designed both the exterior and interior, making it a globally recognized design destination.
The hotel interior mirrors Hadid’s signature organic shapes—fluid furniture, curved walls, and a futuristic palette of white and metallic tones. Guests are surrounded by immersive aesthetics, whether relaxing in the lavish lobby or dining in the award-winning restaurants.
