 Tornado-Like 'Helix' Building Blows Them Away in Abu Dhabi Published: Apr 2, 09 Comments: 2 Views: 5,744 The stereotypical tornado shape may be unknown to the deserts of Abu Dhabi, but the American firm that designed it, Leeser Architecture, certainly must have been inspired by the spring storms that only occur in the U.S. This 5 star luxury hotel will be in the Zayed Bay in Abu Dhabi. It’s called the Helix because of the staggered floors. The hotel is partially over water and next to the serpentine bridge under construction.  with 208 guest rooms and suites arranged around a helical floor, the hotel immediately dispenses with the idea that visitors must engage in the stale paradigms of rigid hallways and atria that characterize a typical hotel stay. the floor constantly shifts in width and pitch as it rises to the top floor, keeping public spaces always in flux. no two rooms positioned across from each other have exact views to the other side.
