Project Brief

A mixed-use waterfront development in Mina Rashid shaped by a view-driven masterplan that prioritizes sea and skyline vistas while unifying residences, office spaces, and public life.

The project brings together three residential towers, an office building, and shared amenities on a terraced podium. At its heart, a public plaza connects community, landscape, and the surrounding maritime setting.​

The design responds with a view-driven masterplan shaped by orientation, contrast, and connection. Three organic residential towers are carefully positioned and sculpted to capture panoramic sea and Downtown vistas, while a faceted, prism-like office building anchors the site with a sharper urban presence. At the center, a sculpted amenities hub and terraced podium extend this architectural language, blurring indoor and outdoor boundaries and opening toward a lively public plaza. Together, landscape, architecture, and maritime-inspired interiors form a cohesive waterfront experience — a dynamic yet grounded landmark where geometry, community, and coastal life converge.

“The architecture breathes with the life of the residents. Terraces, podiums, and interiors unfold as a series of experiences, revealing views, geometry, and communal moments at every step. The landmark is not just a form—it emerges through movement, connection, and the rhythms of daily life.”​ ​
