The Pad racks up Best International Apartment
It's been likened to an iPod and called "the world's most high-tech residential tower" and "the first cybertecture apartment building in the world." The 230-apartment building tilts at a 7-degree angle and is being built in Dubai by Omniyat Properties. Best of all it's called "The Pad," like Fonzie's on their marketing board.
The Pad has just been awarded Best International Apartment at the CNBC International Property Awards in Vegas. So what does the building actually do?
...real-time projection feeds [let you] change your outside view...projecting the Caribbean or New York skyline onto your windows....
Bathrooms fitted with equipment that [monitors] your temperature, weight and blood pressure....
...have dinner with loved ones from across the globe via a video conferencing link projected into your dining room...
Rotating living and dining rooms giving you 360-degree views of Dubai...
...reactive lighting that responds to incoming phone calls and the residents' moods...
The Pad is scheduled to be finished in late 2009.
