Towering above Dubai’s skyline, the Burj Khalifa represents the city’s stature as a global hub for business and tourism. This architectural marvel, featuring residences, a luxury hotel, and commercial spaces, draws millions of visitors annually. Among its most celebrated attractions are the observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors. The journey to At The Top begins at the entrance lobby, an exquisitely designed space that offers visitors a glimpse of the breathtaking experience awaiting them. Blending world-class design, engineering, and craftsmanship, the lobby reflects the grandeur of the world’s tallest building.The ChallengeCreating the glass for the At The Top lobby demanded precision and excellence. The client’s requirement for a specific PVB colour combination posed a significant challenge, as ensuring long-term durability and colour consistency was crucial. Partnering with Seele, renowned for their work on Apple stores worldwide, added another layer of rigor with stringent quality inspections for each pane of glass. Despite the challenges, the result was a flawless product that met the uncompromising standards of both the Burj Khalifa and Seele.

Designed to resemble a picture frame, the structure in the Za’abeel area of Dubai offers uninterrupted views of Old Dubai and New Dubai. From the top, viewers enjoy clear views of Dubai’s unique skyline, including Burj Khalifa on one side. Dubai’s more humble older buildings offer a stark contrast on the other side. We had the opportunity to work on this prestigious project by supplying the glass for the Frame’s unique façade. When viewed from the outside, the structure has gold and chrome detailing, similar to a picture frame. From the inside, however, it offers clear views. We had to ensure the panels allowed sufficient light transmission while filtering heat and minimising glare so visitors have a comfortable experience. The sheer size of the structure meant we had to deliver large quantities without compromising on quality. We checked every panel at our state-of-the-art processing facility to ensure no on-site rejections. Our hard work has helped create a unique structure that welcomed 1 million visitors within the first year.
