The Tides by AMIS on Dubai Islands
The Tides is a residential building by AMIS on Dubai Islands, Dubai. AMIS calls it "Your perfect wavelength" and describes 83 residences: one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses, shaped around the idea of living between the city and the sea. AMIS describes a flowing facade where every curve is considered, and ties the design to sustainable thinking at every level: conscious materials, efficient layouts and natural cross-ventilation.
AMIS's floor plans carry a key section of the building that runs from the ground floor through two podium levels and eight upper floors to a rooftop.
