The Dakkada Skyline 3D Crystal Model
is a pinnacle of bespoke craftsmanship, specifically commissioned to celebrate one of the most significant landmarks in modern urban development. As a centerpiece of the The Awards DXB architectural collection, this award serves as a tangible tribute to the visionaries, engineers, and leaders who transform urban horizons. It is not merely a trophy; it is a scaled, 17cm masterpiece that captures the soul of structural engineering through the delicate medium of optical crystal.
Design Philosophy and Structural Narrative
The design of this award is rooted in the concept of “Vertical Ambition.” The Dakkada Tower is a symbol of progress, and this replica honors that spirit by replicating its iconic silhouette with mathematical precision. The body of the tower is rendered in a deep cobalt blue translucent glass, which mirrors the glass curtain walls of the actual structure. This color choice is intentional, representing the corporate stability and the clear skies toward which the project aspires.
The tower’s façade is detailed with ultra-fine, horizontal white-etched lines that represent individual floor plates and office levels. This intricate detailing provides a sense of immense scale, making the 17cm model feel like a towering giant. The clear crystal “cap” at the summit, featuring a needle-point spire, symbolizes the final point of achievement—the “apex” of a successful project. For theawardsdxb.com, this design represents our ability to turn massive architectural feats into intimate, personal honors.
Materiality and Artisanal Precision
At The Awards DXB, the choice of material is fundamental to the story. The Dakkada Skyline utilizes a sophisticated multi-stage construction process:
Optic-Blue Core: The primary structure is made from tinted optical glass, which maintains its rich cobalt hue without losing transparency, allowing light to pass through and illuminate the internal “floors.”
Diamond-Polished Bevels: Every corner of the tower is diamond-polished to a mirror finish, ensuring that the award sparkles under boardroom lighting.
The obsidian Base: The tower is mounted on a thick, solid-block black acrylic base. This base serves as a “dark mirror,” providing a stark, high-contrast platform that allows the blue and clear glass to vibrate with color.
Scale Accuracy: Standing at exactly 17cm, the award is perfectly balanced to fit on an executive desk while maintaining enough presence to dominate a display case.
Symbolic Impact and Occasions
In the realm of real estate and urban planning, the Dakkada Tower represents more than just office space; it represents the “Rise” of a region. This award is the ideal recognition for:
Project Handover Ceremonies: Celebrating the transition from blueprint to reality.
Infrastructure Excellence Awards: Honoring the engineering firms and architects who pushed the boundaries of vertical design.
Governmental Recognition: Commemorating milestones in regional development and economic growth.
Technical Excellence for theawardsdxb.com
Each The Dakkada Skyline 3D Crystal Model is subject to rigorous quality control to ensure the internal etching is perfectly aligned across all four faces of the crystal. The tiered clear-glass podium at the base of the tower provides a “street-level” perspective, grounding the model in reality.
For further customization, The Awards DXB offers high-contrast silver or gold leaf printing on the black obsidian base. This allows for the inclusion of project dates, donor names, or specific leadership citations. When a recipient holds this award, they are not just holding glass and light; they are holding the very symbol of a city’s future, captured forever in the clarity of crystal. It is a legacy piece that ensures the sweat and vision of the building process are never forgotten.
