I love this place...
Etihad Towers
Why this young couple love life in the luxurious Ras Al Akhdar development One of the most daunting aspects of relocating is the aftermath: when all the fuss and upheaval is over, what do you do with everything? Will that huge timber armoire fit after all? Will that artwork fade on the sunny south-facing wall? When Jenn and Spencer Brown arrived in Abu Dhabi from their native Canada, their furniture was still en route – “When we first moved in, we camped on a sofa bed,” says Spencer with a smile, “we had a tentative vision of how everything would fit, but it was quite daunting.” Just one year later, everything about the couple’s apartment feels like home. That Canadian furniture fits
like a dream, and there’s a quirky vintage aesthetic thanks to Jenn’s love of interiors styling. “I’ve found some little hidden treasures in the markets in Abu Dhabi,” she says. “They’re tucked away, close to the fish markets; you can get some wonderful pieces.” Rattan baskets, rustic vases and a beautiful woven rug bring colour and Arabian influence to the space, but there’s an international style here too: paintings – all of them sentimental – adorn the walls, alongside vintage maps and quaint photo frames. “I love trawling through online design store etsy.com” says Jenn. “You’re supporting the artist directly, which is so nice –

everything is interesting, with a story. Closer to home, we love THE One for furnishings. The blank canvas of a new build has allowed us to do so much.” While settling in, the young couple have enjoyed discovering all that Etihad Towers has to offer. The outdoor leisure area is a favourite hang-out – “It’s beautiful, we’ve even tried stargazing from the poolside,” says Jenn – and at weekends Jumeirah at Etihad Towers has dining options aplenty. “We love Nahaam and Quest,” says Spencer. “If you visit regularly, the staff recognise you – it really enhances the experience. Also, it has widened our social circle: we’ve met lots of other residents in the Lobby Bar and built some close friendships. There’s a lovely atmosphere, it’s very friendly. Our neighbours are a mix of families, singles and couples, with people from all over the world. That’s the great thing about this development – everyone wants to live here.” Through their circle of friends, Jenn and Spencer have seen how other families have put their stamp on the space: “Everyone we know in the building has very

different styles,” says Jenn. “It all seems to work really well, though – it’s a great neutral base.” At the weekends, Ras Al Akhdar offers entertainment galore: “We can walk to Marina Mall, and the beach is right on our doorstep,” says Spencer. “On Fridays there’s a lovely buzz about the place, and the park opposite the Corniche is full of families having picnics. There are bike paths and pedestrian areas planned too, which we’re really looking forward to.” The couple enjoy entertaining, and have hosted friends and family from Canada – “They’re blown away by how beautiful the development is,” says Spencer. One of the most spectacular features, however, is the view from the couple’s living room. “From here you can see Emirates Palace, the Arabian Gulf, and the construction of the new presidential palace,” says Jenn. “It’s a brilliant view, and it has been wonderful to see the skyline change over the last year. At night, the lights of Emirates Palace are enchanting. When I wake up in the morning I still look out of the window and think ‘I can’t believe that this is my view’”.
