Sobha One

Wind engineering and air flow testing for an intricate, multi-level development in a wind-prone region

Sobha One is a 350m long residential development in Dubai made up of 9 interlinked towers ranging from 30 to 66 stories. Due to its complex geometry and location in a wind-prone region, wind tunnel testing and airflow analysis were essential. RWDI’s studies helped the design team understand wind impacts on the structure and its façade, optimize building performance, and reduce material use, supporting both cost efficiency and sustainability.
