This week on Dezeen, Japanese studio Nikken Sekkei unveiled a skyscraper in Dubai that includes the world’s longest cantilever.

Measuring 67.5 metres, the cantilever projects out from a link connecting two skyscrapers at the One Za’abeel development in Dubai.

The cantilever is one metre longer than the 66.5-metre-long observation deck at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, making it the longest in the world.
