Text description provided by the architects. Situated on the edge of the Marasi Marina between downtown Dubai and the Dubai Design District, this new waterfront is set to become a major luxury lifestyle destination in the city. The new development will sit at the heart of a 12-kilometre waterfront promenade featuring floating villas and an extensive yacht berth.
The seven vertical gardens across the development are the environmental and social focus of the design. Each garden creates a new lifestyle experience enriching the lives of the guests and residents. The entire building is lifted off the ground to create a visual connection between the marina and the approach road while creating a landscaped public space in the middle of the site. The waterfront edge is animated by shops, restaurants and cafés that line the new promenade, called the Waterfront Garden.
