To describe the structure of this beauty in mere words is difficult. To put it crudely, the structure looks like around 30 bricks roughly piled over each other with gaps in between. What\u2019s special and aesthetic about it you ask? Well, the unique hexagonal structure ensures that each unit gets a wide viewing space and that wind\/ventilation is equally received across each unit in the building.<\/p>\n<p>The structure has six block (which looks like a brick, as we said before) is stacked above each other and each unit in all 6 of these blocks overlook the many parks and aesthetic views that surround the property. This building is also the winner of the 2015 World Building of the year. The design and concept were done by OMA &amp; Ole Scheeren and its construction was completed in 2013. The Interlace is 24 floors tall and has a floor space of 170,000 square meters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1986 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-300x200.png\" alt=\"the-interlace-unique-residential-buildings\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-1060x706.png 1060w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-550x367.png 550w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-750x500.png 750w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1.png 1559w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_%E2%80%93_Cayan_Tower_Dubai_UAE\"><\/span>#2 &#8211; Cayan Tower, Dubai, UAE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Cayan Tower was previously featured on our list of top 10 tallest residential buildings from around the world, so you must be familiar with it.

Its iconic helical structure is much discussed around the world and even attracts quite a bit of tourists.

The entire structure looks as though it is put together from children\u2019s toys. Brightly colored (on the inside as well) and uniquely shaped.<\/p>\n<p>The building was designed by husband-wife architect duo Arakawa and Gins, who are also poets on the side.
