L a double awardwinning project which has been developed as a joint venture between Jumeirah Golf Estates and Luxury Living Investments. This exclusive, contemporary residential development features 291 townhouses, designed for architectural excellence and sophisticated living, located on the championship golf course ‘Fire’ creating a landmark in Jumeirah Golf Estates. Jumeirah Golf Estates currently comprises 16 unique communities which overlook two of the world’s championship golf courses – namely ‘Earth’ and ‘Fire’. Forming one of these distinct communities, Jumeirah Luxury is an exclusive and contemporary residential project in the heart of Dubai. With three, four and five-bedroom options, Jumeirah Luxury will reinforce Jumeirah Golf Estate’s distinct,

high-end, indoor-outdoor lifestyle offering. Roof terraces and private gardens enhance the experience, enabling residents to immerse themselves in the serene surroundings. Set across 1,119 hectares of lush green landscape, Jumeirah Luxury is a unique destination offering attractive investment opportunities and world-class amenities. As a gated community, it combines a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere with superior lifestyle facilities such as a clubhouse, fullyequipped gym, tennis courts, shopping mall, restaurants, and bars. As host of the annual DP World Tour Championship and home to the Middle East’s only European Tour Performance Institute, Jumeirah Golf Estates also rivals the best-golfing destinations in the world.

naturally unlimited in Jumeirah Luxury and complemented by the additional benefits of a Golf Academy and a clubhouse. The developers chose the design of 60 plots with 291 townhouses offering contemporary architecture and affordable luxury. The configuration has less density, more space for multiple gardens and the provision of public areas for relaxation and exercise. There are jogging tracks, water features and attractive landscaped areas in which children can play. Each townhouse has the advantage of either a golf, gardens or lake view. Also, despite the fact that they are all surrounded by 200-400 metres of golf course, the properties still include their gardens and water features. The internal living spaces have been planned in a highly efficient layout. They use high quality imported building materials, branded home
appliances and smart home systems where air-conditioning, lighting, curtains and CCTV are all controlled centrally, as well as other ecofriendly technologies. Floor-to-ceiling, bi-fold, adequately insulated glass windows provide maximum connectivity with the outdoor surroundings. They also include special frosting to reduce the heat and ensure privacy. Being larger than normal, these windows also provide more natural daylight, thus reducing energy further. LED, energy efficient lighting is used throughout the homes and solar street lighting is implemented for further energy saving. The development offers the opportunity to create bespoke homes, with options to customise the design, interiors, and layout. Buyers may even opt to purchase three attached townhouses and transform them into an independent mansion.

BD C a multi-disciplined design firm that offers architectural as well as residential and commercial interior design services. With 15 years’ experience, the multi-award-winning group was formed as a result of the high demand from clients to expand its services in the commercial and hospitality property markets. Its Cantilever Villa in Emirates Hills is a large, contemporary family home. A shard atrium intersects the building and acts as the main circulation space, with flowing interconnecting bridges at higher levels between two wings. Other features of the home include a cantilevered swimming pool, sunken garden and a sliding door glazing system throughout. XBD Collective’s City Walk private apartment mixes down-to-earth and youthful design with sophisticated elements to be
practical for a young family. The design direction for the main living, dining and bar area required the flexibility to change the mood for entertaining. Its textures therefore needed a glamorous edge especially when illuminated, such as grey mirrors, satin, tinted glass and lacquer. Other distinguishable features include a bespoke bar clad in leather and chrome, a funky swing chair from Lee Broom and a kitchen island clad in champagne metal and covered in thick composite stone from Dekton. The next award-winning interior design of a private family villa in Emirates Hills, area HT, incorporates high-end lighting as a major design feature, including a custom-designed nine metre chandelier spanning two floors, Fendi furniture (due to the clients’ love of the brand) and a 1920’s feel for the bar and poker room.

The interior design of a private residence on Palm Jumeirah was designed to suit a family of six with young children. Rooms had to have a personalised touch that capture the spirit of family members. Special features include a custom-designed dining table in handcrafted black Carnelian stone and an Arabesqueinspired roof terrace including an outdoor fireplace and private cabanas. The interior design of a show home in the Alef Residences, W Hotel on the Palm Jumeirah showcases an opulent apartment in a luxurious resort. The design brief was to capture a five-star lifestyle that potential buyers

would crave. It has been designed to appeal to any type of buyer as the price of units ranges from £3.1m to £14.4m, the interior needed to show the many upscaling possibilities. Features include Volga blue marble, black St Laurent marble and suede cladding. The last but not least of XBD Collective’s impressive array of awards is for the commercial offices of Taws Printing, a prestigious printing company established in the UK in 1978. The design brief was to mix innovation and style with an industrial feel. Design features needed to reflect the company’s brand and heritage. This included old printing machinery and the recreation of original typography. Features include slate tiles and wired glass, vintage rope and iron pipe pendant lights in the coffee bar, and a vintage guillotine decorating the corridor.

H 2018-2019
H I D is a Dubai-based development company which was established in 2007. It rapidly expanded its activities over a short period of time and now offers, through its different business divisions, a wide range of real estate related services providing its clients with a unique ‘all in one’ approach to handling their assets. H&H has won awards for two of its latest projects. The first is for the new Four Seasons Hotel at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) which is part of the larger Gate Village complex, a mixed-use development that forms the social heart of the Financial District of Dubai. The hotel building was an existing structure and has been converted from residential to commercial use. The brief was to create a 106-suite five-star boutique hotel which would meet the hotel’s image and brand
offering. It also had to integrate harmoniously into the DIFC master plan and urban massing. Catering predominantly for business and city travellers, the Four Seasons Hotel DIFC is characterised by a residential style with calming tones throughout from its lobby right up to the rooftop. It is laid out on eight levels, with the sixth floor housing a spa, panoramic swimming pool and Juice Bar while the trendy Skyline Bar is above on floor seven. The hotel uses every corner of space to contain bespoke details and quirky design touches with restaurants, bars and lounges that offer a sense of intimacy and exclusivity. Art then becomes a fundamental link throughout the guestrooms and corridors. The result is a triumph of colour, art and design in which everything is made to measure, enhanced by panoramic views of a city that has made ‘luxury’ part of the national scenery.

Galleria Barsha
Galleria Barsha is a boutique shopping mall with a total 5,392m² of built area over two levels. It includes primarily retail and food and beverage outlets as well as an outdoor cinema rooftop component, spas, medical clinics, a traditional souq and basement parking. As the second of its kind to be opened in Dubai, the owner is aiming to launch the brand internationally. Each Galleria looks different but has key common characteristics, architecturally, operationally and experience wise. The aim of the development is to create a landmark retail centre building that will stand out from its competitors. Designed by Dutch architects, OMA, Galleria Barsha is therefore composed of different elements that characterise the building as a whole. Its perforated roof, the pavilion at the centre
of the plaza and the plaza itself recreate an outdoor environment which enables the business to operate all year round. A green wall feature also enhances the user experience at the outdoor cinema on the rooftop. Rich materials have been incorporated for the interior finishes such as travertine, white granite and walnut timber. Galleria Barsha’s façade veers away from the anonymous façade typically seen in shopping malls. Instead it is light, pleasant and playful but above all, elegant. The overall design concept blends in seamlessly with its surrounding environment so as not to create disturbance to the low-rise buildings of the residential neighbourhood. Equally, the design has the architectural gravitas to make it stand out and be recognised in front of an international audience.

A I been renowned for creating exquisite interiors for the hospitality market for over 20 years. During this time the company has nurtured an award-winning reputation and established an enviable clientele, reflecting its superlative performance and commitment to unique interiors. The Renaissance Downtown Dubai is an excellent example. The client was converting his recently built office tower into an exclusive hotel and favoured the Marriott Group’s unique and unconventional Renaissance Brand. Working closely with the client and the Marriott/Renaissance team, WA International re-planned the entire building to accommodate guestrooms, suites, lounges, receptions, meeting rooms, restaurants and a raised swimming pool.
The concept for the public areas and guestrooms was the evolution of a skyline from concrete and glass – the natural elements of Dubai being sand and water. Polished concrete walls and concrete floors therefore feature predominantly throughout these areas. The guestrooms average an incredible 60m² in area with impressive ceiling heights. Their spaciousness is also accentuated by an open plan concept from the bathroom to the bedroom. Guestrooms, suites and public areas are furnished in a modern classic style with a tonal pale grey and sandy colour palette. Dubai’s brilliant sunshine and its lightscapes have then been emulated beautifully by contrasts of light and dark, gold and black accent colours. The golden sun itself and Dubai’s gold souks have also been referenced for the hotel’s hardware, sculptures and golden chain curtains.

, Wanders Werner Falasi Consulting Architects offers outstanding architectural design services internationally. The company has won awards for two of its latest projects. The concept for Muwahid Villa in Dubai Jumeirah combines modern spaces with traditional architectural elements. Its design allows the Palestinian family to enjoy open spaces orientated to the centre of the house. The sequence of spaces is developed from public to private – from the entrance crossing the linear connection of formal dining room and seating area, passing a cosy tea room and leading up to the casual family lounge. This area also has a linear connection to the family kitchen overlooking the pool and terrace. An
olive tree imported from Palestine and planted in a central courtyard connects both the home and its occupants to their roots. Ras Al Khaimah Villa overlooks the shores of the Arabian Gulf with magnificent views over natural mangroves. The plot allows for two villas on top of a dune, a boat house, service buildings, green spaces, infinity pools and terraces. Designed as a weekend home, the initial brief was simple: to create a modern villa with lots of light and views to the garden and sea. Six bedrooms are positioned on the first floor while the large ground floor is completely open, yet clearly zoned, with fully glazed corners. A stunning focal point is the central water feature and seating area beneath a custom-made chandelier.

One Palm
- branding and marketing agency, Fifth Estate, based in Dubai, has won awards for two of its development marketing projects. ‘A work of art that is also liveable’ was the vision for the architectural marvel, ‘The Opus’ by Iraqi-British architect Dame Zaha Hadid. This mixed-use development of luxurious serviced residences, commercial and retail spaces also includes the ME by Meliá, which is the first ever hotel fully designed by Hadid. Fifth Estate positioned The Opus to be more than just another Dubai landmark, but to ooze strategic value following the untimely death of Hadid. The project evolved into the eternal embodiment of her approach to life and celebrates her ability to realign structural form.
With One Palm, Fifth Estate had the exhilarating challenge of marketing one of the most expensive places to live on the planet and capturing the qualities of all the global talents that brought the development to life. Through premier imagery and finely-tuned words, it focused on the different outdoor living spaces and sanctuaries that One Palm offers and emphasised the use of stone, wood, metal and glass to create a feeling of living among nature.

L Olivia Watts and Claudia Mitcham, with a collective 20 years’ experience, MWM Studio is redefining modern interior design in the Middle East. Taking the lead from each client’s brief, the studio works alongside leading architects and consultants to bring projects from off plan to completion. MWM’s brief for its award-winning interior design project, Hillside at Jumeirah Golf Estates, was to create a show home for modern living. Given that Hillside is the first development of its kind in Dubai offering just 20 contemporary villas with highly luxurious interiors, it features open plan communal areas, state-of-the-art fixtures and clean lines throughout. While Dubai is often regarded as being an urban jungle, Hillside incorporates the lush
greenery surrounding the golf estate. MWM therefore paid particular attention to the views from inside the villa whilst developing the floor layouts. The entrance door has become a feature in itself through effective landscaping. Other highlights are a basement with a cinema and entertainment space complete with a bar and parking for five cars and bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and rainfall showers. The open plan kitchen spills into a formal family living area which leads on to a more formal living/dining space. Natural finishes have also been incorporated such as warm timber floors in key areas with accent stone feature walls and tonal tiles in secondary bathrooms. Luxury living has been placed at the forefront of the show home’s design throughout.

award-winning architect and leading consultancy with offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The company specialises in architecture, master planning and interior design. Its 46-storey 1/JBR residential high-rise building was inspired by the skyline of Dubai and the principle of clarity. Believing that the market in the UAE is cluttered with oddlyshaped unusable spaces, it wanted to create a building design that spoke of minimalist opulence and gave the buyer the most habitable spaces possible, while also providing a fresh and unique experience for Dubai residents. The company is also motivated by a desire to reinvent Dubai’s luxury living market,

detracting away from the ostentatious, but instead offering clean, simple living, in opposition to the complex and often dazzling buildings that populate the city. Edge design director, Ivar Krasinski explains, “When one wants people to listen in a crowded room full of noisy talk, he should whisper.” Spaces within the plot were creatively arranged to optimise the spectacular views of the Arabian sea, Palm Jumeirah and Ain Dubai. They offer exclusive beach access and also maintain a sense of privacy, with semi-private to express lift services. The tower also offers an infinity pool, fitness centre and an oasis of private gardens with walkways that connect the apartments to beautiful sandy shores.

, Aqua Properties is an award-winning real estate group based in Dubai. It specialises in everything from property marketing, brokerage and leasing to property management, project planning and development. The company’s key strength is in the variety of unparalleled services it provides clients. This ranges from understanding their exact requirements to delivering a high return investment that surpasses their expectations. When it comes to modern marketing, Aqua strongly believes that today’s constantly switched-on, multiple-device consumer has completely changed the rules of investor engagement. Aqua’s brand has therefore embraced this shift from purchasing via high street offices to digital sources of information. However, the company still believes that offline efforts are essential to support its online
marketing efforts. A combination of paid and owned media, digital and offline are used to market Aqua’s listings. One of the company’s most innovative projects this year was the development of Global REIT – the world’s first ever blockchain-based REIT. The primary goal of this innovation was to offer investors exposure to global real estate markets without the necessity of acquiring an entire property, by shifting the management and compliance obligations to the fund management. As a result, this innovation has been an unequivocal driver of growth and marketing for Aqua, due to the worldwide recognition it has catapulted for the company. Therefore, the brand of Global REIT has since been used in conjunction with Aqua Properties to promote the agency and services in untapped markets and regions.
