HOMES BY B ANNENBERG & R OWELL

Barr Al Jissah partnered with prestigious superyacht designers Bannenberg & Rowell to create the world’s frst Bannenberg owell Limited dition Townhomes

BannenBerg & rOweLL are the award-winning studio behind some of the world’s most famous yacht interiors and exteriors, including Feadship’s 44m Moonsand, the 85m Pacifc by Lurssen, and Heesen’s 47m Asya, which was featured on these very pages last year. Can we mention these details? Yes we can, as this information is available publicly

Now they are turning their hand to this exciting land-based project at Barr Al Jissah, creating nine unique homes.

“We were seeking an exclusive brand to partner with, so we looked at their work and saw that their design direction and achievements matched what we were aspiring to,” explains Firas Matraji, CEO of Barr Al Jissah. “We approached them and explained our concept of yacht living and they agreed to come on board. These designs are exclusive to Barr Al Jissah, and we are delighted to unveil the world’s only Bannenberg & Rowell

Limited Edition Townhomes at our stunning destination.”

For the Bannenberg & Rowell

Limited Edition Town Homes, the designers have taken inspiration from the spectacular ocean setting and Omani architecture for these cuttingedge interiors; creating something truly outstanding and unique.

Elevated above Barr Al Jissah, the four-bedroom, fve-bathroom townhomes offer uninterrupted views across the Gulf of Oman. A dramatic entrance leads onto the spacious open plan living areas with sliding patio doors. Panoramic windows connect the sleek, contemporary interiors to the teak outdoor decking.

Smart mood lighting and hidden, silent ducted air conditioning throughout all contribute to the considered elegance and functionality of these townhomes, ensuring maximum comfort for homeowners and guests.

What is Barr Al Jissah’s ultimate selling point to you?

To me, it’s the location. Wherever you look you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the ocean and Al Hajar Mountains. We wanted it to be a luxury lifestyle destination, meaning that though it is easily accessible from the capital Muscat, it is still a relaxing retreat from the stresses of everyday life.

There were some recent steps taken to further enhance the project in that respect. Can you explain those briefy?

We’ve kept up-to-date with the current requirements and expectations of homeowners. We’ve updated the designs to feature cleaner, modern lines and open spaces, making optimal use of the views throughout the homes, which has really made a difference.

Over the past few years we have partnered with various likeminded luxury brands. ShangriLa has been here for quite some time, but we have also joined forces with the likes of Quintessentially to provide luxury concierge services, and Oman Arab Bank who offer elite private banking.

So it’s not only the views and the location that are outstanding here, but also the services.

We have taken this one step further, introducing the new concept of yacht living through our design partnership with the awardwinning Bannenberg & Rowell studio, famed for their luxury yacht interiors.

Why

Bannenberg & Rowell?

Rather than partner with luxury brands - who have already branched out into luxury interiors - we wanted to bring something completely unique and different to Barr Al Jissah. Through this partnership, we were really able to bring to life the concept of yacht living, which can be seen through interior details such as the teak decking, evocative of a yacht deck.

Are you looking to develop Barr Al Jissah as a yachting destination?

Absolutely. We’ve tied up with a couple of yacht charter companies in the Gulf, mainly Dubai. We also act as a point of entry to the Sultanate. We have a nice, relatively sheltered bay outside the marina and we can even provide water taxis to and from the yacht for those who don’t have their own tender. The idea is that we can handle all of the details on behalf of the yacht owners, including entry documents and transfers, so they can make the most of their time at Barr Al Jissah. Additionally, our captains are on hand to advise them on the best spots to cruise in Oman or accompany them should they wish. We’re getting more and more yachts coming here, simply because of those services; mainly from the UAE, but also occasionally from Europe or elsewhere.

What are the next major steps for the project?

The next major step for us is the marina development. This will offer a combination of apartments, duplexes and villas surrounding the marina; along with a waterfront promenade with an array of dining and retail outlets. A luxurious and exclusive yacht club for all our homeowners will complete the project, providing a private beach, gym, pool and tennis courts.

We’re also developing our souq area into a nice family entertainment centre with a wide range of activities for both children and adults. We’re focusing a lot on ftness and entertainment, but there will also be art, culture, and even a classic car museum. Ultimately, we want our homeowners and hotel guests to want for nothing at our destination, and to showcase all that there is to do at Barr Al Jissah.
