Eywa Way of Water, Business Bay
Eywa Way of Water, a residential tower in Business Bay, Dubai, has frontage onto the Dubai Water Canal. It is registered with the Dubai Land Department as Eywa The Way Of Water, project 3890. The architecture is modelled on a mangrove tree, with coral motifs, ceramic roots and plant-inspired forms, and its structure and detailing refer to sea urchins, turtles and stingrays.
The building and units
The tower has 28 storeys above a single basement level used for parking. The building holds apartments of two and three bedrooms, together with three duplexes and a single penthouse.
Sizes by type:
- Two-bedroom apartments: 2,154 to 2,993 sq ft
- Three-bedroom apartments: 4,663 to 4,996 sq ft
- Duplexes: 5,643 sq ft to 9,990 sq ft
- Penthouse: approximately 22,900 sq ft
Each unit has its own lobby with direct lift access. Private terraces carry their own pools, waterfalls and planting. Ceiling heights are between 3.2 and 3.8 metres in single-level units and between 3.2 and 7.6 metres in the duplexes and the penthouse.
Inside, living and common areas are laid with travertine and bedrooms with wooden parquet, and a shoes-off rule applies on every floor. Kitchen cabinetry is Australian Paldao timber. Bathrooms use stone slabs with a textured, leather-like finish. Materials are specified as non-toxic and mould- and fungus-resistant, and paints carry third-party sustainability certification. Bedrooms are fitted with grounded sockets and EMF shielding, and every unit has a smart automation system.
The design follows neuroarchitecture and biophilic principles. The site and the position of some internal elements were chosen with reference to Vastu Shastra and energy studies. Crystals weighing more than 21,000 kilograms in total, semi-precious stones among them, are set into the structure in a pyramid form and placed in shared rooms. The water systems use sound vibration harmonisation.
Amenities
The amenity floors hold six pools in all, among them an indoor pool, an infinity pool and several plunge pools. The wellness area has cryo, infrared, herbal and salt saunas, plus a hammam, an ice bath, a cold plunge and a Japanese bath. Other features are a meditation labyrinth, a crystal garden, a turtle nest, a floating fireplace and a hammock themed on the stingray.
