Dubai’s Wasl Tower embraces aluminium to become the most sustainable construction in UAE

The UAE's Year of Sustainability has inspired the tower's innovative approach, which aligns with the country's commitment to climate goals. The ceramic fins, made from a combination of clay, low-tech glazed ceramic, and aluminium casing, will provide shade, enhance wind-induced cooling, and maximise natural daylight penetration into the interior. This groundbreaking approach to energy efficiency will reinforce Dubai's reputation as a global leader in sustainable construction practices.

Developed by Wasl, the mixed-use project will encompass approximately 167,733 square metres and feature residential apartments, offices, restaurants, a luxurious Mandarin Oriental hotel, and a swimming pool. The tower's twisting architectural design not only offers a visually striking appearance but also prioritises safety, sustainability, and energy efficiency, as illustrated by Wasl Group's CEO, Hesham Abdullah Al Qassim.
