At the top will be an all-glass viewing platform which will be illuminated to form a distinctive beacon at night.
The two walls of the tower which face the sun will be predominantly stone, which will absorb the heat of the sun, harnessing it to ward off the chill of desert nights.
The north facing elevation will be glass, offering occupants panoramic views across the Gulf while revealing the interior.
Construction of the building is expected to start later this year, with completion anticipated in 2006.
