The Cayan Tower is a 306 meters
(1,004 ft) 80 story skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates Known as Infinity
Tower by Cayan Real Estate Investment and Development. Designed by Skidmore,
Owings and Merrill SOM architectural group. Construction began in 2006 and
topped out in 2012, upon its opening on 10 June 2013 the tower has became the
tallest high rise building with a twist of 90 degrees. The tower apartments are
designed with wooden floors, marble counter tops and the Kitchens fixtures. The
tower also includes a five story parking garage behind it. The rooms of the
tower are designed in such a way that it wouldn't be affected by direct
sunlight due to titanium metal panels on cast-in-place concrete columns aided
with repetitive staggered screen panels to stop penetrating sunlight from
disturbing the residents of the unit.
