Helix Hotel by Leeser Architecture

New York design firm Leeser Architecture have won a competition to design a hotel in the Zayed Bay district of Abu Dhabi, UAE.Called the Helix for its spiraling floors, the hotel is located in the bay and sits partially over the water. The building includes a glass-bottomed swimming pool on the roof, visible eight floors below, and a running track on the fifth floor. It will be part of a new waterfront development in Abu Dhabi, adjacent to the Sheik Zayed Bridge by Zaha Hadid Architects that is currently under construction.
