Muraba and RCR Arquitectes, recipients of the 2017 Pritzker Prize, have collaborated on Muraba Veil, a modern architectural project in Dubai that aims to incorporate traditional elements alongside contemporary innovation.
This 380-meter-high tower is the latest result of a decade-long partnership between Muraba, a Dubai-based developer, and RCR Arquitectes, a Spanish architectural firm.

At 22.5 meters wide, the 73-storey building features 131 units, ranging from two to five-bedroom residences, each spanning the full width of the tower. The design allows for views and access to outdoor spaces, balancing aesthetics with functional living.
The tower's narrow, vertical form is intended to complement Dubai's architectural landscape while maintaining a connection with its natural surroundings through innovative design approaches.

The interior design of Muraba Veil takes inspiration from traditional Arabian homes, particularly the concept of the inner courtyard.
This concept is adapted for high-rise living, with each residence benefiting from dual aspects, facilitating natural cross-ventilation and reducing the need for artificial cooling.
The residences are designed to offer privacy and a sense of tranquility, reflecting the traditional architectural focus on seclusion and a connection to nature.
