Dubai's the limit!
This concept skyscraper is the future for Dubai's ever changing skyline, with every floor having the capability to revolve 360 degrees around a central concrete core pillar. This means the building will never look the same due to its occupants deciding to rotate or stay still and take in a certain view of the city!
When completed, the rotating tower skyscraper will have 68 floors and will be 313 meters (1,027 feet) high. There will be a 6-star hotel, offices and apartments of various sizes besides five villas on the top floor. Each of the villas will have designated parking on the same floor with vehicles brought up and down in special elevators. The roof of the “Penthouse” villa will also have a swimming pool, a garden and an Arabian majlis. The tower also have a retractable heliport, a platform that will extend from the shell of the building at the 64th floor at the moment of landing, thus maintaining the dynamic aesthetic architecture of the tower.

Zoolander - is that you? :)
Hey Vince, nice to hear from you mate. Great to have you on board.
They really are pushing the architectural envelope in Dubai aren't they. Just imagine experiencing that level of creative freedom over here...
