Green landscaping

The project seeks to provide each of the hotel guests with a unique private suite that offers sweeping views across the area, and a private landscaped terrace with integrated swimming pools for each room. The rooms are grouped into individual room towers, each clad in a precast lattice grid for shade and privacy.

Ground floor retail and F&B plan

Hotel tower plan

A central atrium provides shaded access to every room, and is connected to the outside through two external terraces on every floor. By shifting the location of these terraces on every level, three linear green gardens are created in the façade. Concrete central columns support each room and each swimming pool at its centre. This frees up the façade from structural requirements and enables the open terraces to have unencumbered views across Jumeirah when desired.
