Al Fattan Downtown Towers
from AE7 Residential 2024
by AE7 Design
Dubai, UAE
The desire for effortless living and location-centric homes provided the catalyst for a sanctuary in the heart of a teeming city. Al Fattan Downtown is a mixed-use development project in Al Wasl, Dubai, to be finished in 2018. Each of the three towers contain residential accommodations and retail space. Tower one houses a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments, totaling 130 units. Tower two of this three tower construct contains two bedroom apartments and a retail section. Residential tower number three has a total of 145 two- and three-bedroom units, plus residential amenities, such as a gym and health club.
This distinctive residential community is an exclusive urban address for seclusion and relaxation. Three simple glass volumes, encased with an elegant exterior structural expression, are the antithesis to the visual cacophony that defines the neighborhood architecture. Stalwart vertical fins circumscribe the exterior façade and shelter the glass from the sun, whilst providing visual privacy for the units. The podium that defines the site offers far more than convenient parking; it also creates an elevated enclave of respite for the residents with a garden, pool and other community amenities. The balcony concerto along the corners are staccato inflections, creating moments of whimsy and awe to the architectural opus. The Al Fattan Downtown Tower’s underlying theme of elegance is continued with a minimalist color scheme and material palette, complementing true urban seclusion.
