Sybarite Architects design the Apeiron in Dubai


The aptly named ‘Apeiron’ hotel is derived from Anaximander’s 6th century BC cosmological theory. He believed the beginning of time to be an endless, unlimited mass, subject to neither old age nor decay, perpetually yielding fresh materials, from which everything we can perceive is derived.

At 185m, this $500 million island hotel features a total floor area of 200,000m² and over 350 luxury suites. Access to this exclusive 7 Star resort is restricted to water (yacht) and air (helicopter) only. For the ultimate in arrival and departure style, yachts can moor in the heart of the building’s core. The Apeiron is the definitive James Bond retreat, boasting its own private lagoon, beaches, restaurants, art gallery, luxury shopping, cinemas, spas and conference facilities. Its dramatic silhouette on the horizon creates a completely unique architectural icon that will be instantly recognised worldwide.
