B+H Architects provided architecture, master planning, 
landscape and interior design services for City of Towers, 
a residential complex located in the United Arab Emirates. 
The concept is a modern allegory of ancient Middle 
Eastern cities and guided our design vision of creating an 
integrated community.
Framing an outdoor public courtyard and amenity space, 
the development consists of four residential buildings that 
vary in height and resemble a walled garden. Sculptural 
balconies, colonnades, and various window rhythms 
create a sense of dynamism; natural stone and wood, 
shading screens, strong textures and a warm colour 
palette speak to the context of the surrounding area. 
Indoor amenities are connected to the towers via a 
sinuous pedestrian bridge that spans the site and 
provides shading for the public areas beneath.
Landscape and organic elements are crucial to the overall 
design. Private and public spaces with natural elements 
act as focal points for the community’s residents and 
visitors.
