Dubai Islands - The Palm Jebel Ali

From the three massive Palm Island developments, the Palm Jebel Ali is the second largest, 50% larger than Palm Jumeirah, but much smaller than the newest Palm Deira Island. Heavily inclined towards residential property and luxury tourism, the real estate developments on the Palm Jebel Ali includes six marinas, a water theme park, water homes built on stilts and a 'Sea Village.'

Among these impressive constructions, the 1060 water homes have gained a lot of curious interest, because they are built on stilts above the water and, when looked at from an aerial perspective, form an Arabic verse written by the Ruler of Dubai. The luxurious water homes are spread across a 12km chain between the Palm's Fronds and Crescent. Built to be recognized as retreat homes, these water homes will have concrete foundation poles and wooden structures. Each home will be of 3875 square feet, consisting of 4 bedrooms, and located approximately 8 to 10 metres above the water level. A common parking area and private moorings for personal boats are also available along the boardwalk.

East Village Penthouse & Rooftop Garden

New York's Pulltab Design recently sent me some images of a rooftop project that features a little bit of "urban rust." Situated atop a 1900's walkup in Manhattan's East Village, the design is "a space for both reading and entertaining," consisting of a penthouse and garden.

The penthouse and garden are two projects for the previous and current owners. The former encompasses a single room and adjacent outdoor space, and the latter creates more outdoor space in an area to the left of the below diagram.

Materials were selected for their changing qualities over time. They are primarily teak, bronze, zinc and Cor-ten steel. The first is used for the single-room penthouses's columns, windows and doors; custom bronze brackets were created for the space; zinc lines the steel used to collect rainwater from the roof; and Cor-ten steel guardrails follow the old building's parapet and defines the small outdoor room adjacent to the penthouse. These guardrails of "urban rust" recall the sides of dumpsters, though I'm guessing this is a comparison neither architect nor client would want to acknowledge. Nevertheless the top image illustrates how well this material works in its location, anchoring the otherwise lightweight addition.

Beyond the Cor-ten steel guardrail lies the project's second phase (below), created for the succeeding owner. A palette of wood and metals with active patina prevails again, but the latter is used sparingly, defining a small lily pool. Plantings are used with partial height walls and a trellis to create a sense of privacy and provide shade.

But the focus of this second rooftop intervention is the hand-carved block of white oak with its keyhole-shape, stainless steel fountain. Like the metals used throughout the roof, this block is intended to weather over time, marking the seasons and the years.
