Project Brief

Sea Cliff is conceived as a reworking of a uniform mass into a more articulated residential presence within Dubai Islands.

Through facade and landscape interventions, the design introduces depth, variation, and human-scaled spatial moments, transforming the volume into a more layered and habitable environment.

The design reshapes the monotone mass through controlled slits and carved pockets that create terraces and outdoor lounges, extending living spaces outward while framing views and reducing perceived bulk. A restrained palette of bronze metal, travertine, and dark mullions defines a cohesive language, where vertical articulation and layered facade elements create a composition that unfolds gradually, revealing varied spatial conditions from different perspectives.

Project Info

A composed facade uses vertical articulation and carved pockets to create depth, rhythm, and a clear identity.

A layered landscape organizes amenities into active and private zones, with lounges, cinema areas, and decks extending use across levels.

Design Development

The design evolves through the refinement of massing, facade articulation, and landscape layering into a cohesive architectural system.

Form, facade, and landscape evolve together, creating a layered spatial experience across the building and its landscape.

"The starting point was a mass that felt too monotone and lacked moments at a human scale. We reworked the unit distribution to improve the massing and then introduced slits and carved pockets to break the volume down and create a more articulated and engaging facade."
