Inside Dubai’s ‘Ice Cube’ Penthouse That Floats Over Business Bay

In this week’s Dream Home Dubai spotlight, step inside the stunning penthouse at The Opus by Omniyat — a Dh150 million masterpiece designed by the legendary Zaha Hadid. Floating high above Business Bay, this ultra-minimalist, fully furnished four-bedroom residence redefines what luxury looks and feels like. With 4,200 sq. ft. of sky garden, a petrified olive tree at the entrance, two show-stopping living rooms, and a black marble bathtub carved like art, it’s more than a home — it’s a living sculpture.

From curated Italian finishes and Armani kitchens to wraparound terraces and a plunge pool with Dubai Canal views, this penthouse delivers “quiet luxury” in full swing — literally, thanks to the oversized sky garden swing.

Key Highlights:

  • Iconic ‘Ice Cube’ Design: Located in the architectural marvel The Opus by Omniyat, designed by Dame Zaha Hadid, the building itself is a sculptural icon in Business Bay.
  • Statement Entrance: A 150-year-old petrified olive tree greets you, setting the tone for this artistic, gallery-like home in the sky.
  • Minimalist Art Haven: Featuring five-metre ceilings, gallery-white walls, and Minotti furniture — it’s part penthouse, part modern art museum.
  • Dual Living Rooms: One for sophisticated entertaining, the other for luxe lounging — both bathed in sunlight with sculptural lighting and plush ivory tones.
  • Sky Garden & Plunge Pool: Enjoy 4,200 sq. ft. of al fresco perfection, with a ten-seater BBQ terrace, giant swing, and skyline views.
  • Master Suite Luxury: A spa-style retreat with his-and-hers wardrobes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a freestanding black marble bathtub.
  • Designer Kitchen: Crafted by Armani and Molteni with seamless Miele appliances and a second hidden prep kitchen for back-of-house ease.
  • Curated Aesthetics: Art isn’t just decor — it’s part of the DNA. Each piece is placed with precision for that edgy New York gallery feel.
  • Terrace with a View: Front-row seats to Dubai’s skyline, perfect for sunrise coffees, sunset dips, or NYE fireworks.
  • Concealed Smart Luxury: Automated lighting, hidden switches, and cabinetry that conceals screens and tech, preserving clean, intentional design.
