0-14 Tower

Design for 0-14 Towerin Dubai’s Business 
Bay by RUR Architecture. 
The 22-storey commercial tower 
is sheathed in a 40cm-thick concrete 
shell perforated by over 1,000 
openings that create a lace-like 

effect on the building’s façade. 




A space nearly one meter deep between the shell and the main enclosure creates a so-called “chimney effect,”where hot air has room to rise and effectively cools the surface of the glass windows behind the perforated shell. 0-14 is a collaboration between New York City-based Reiser+ Umemoto, RUR Architecture PC, and Dubai Properties developer, ShahabLutfi.
