Project Brief

Soto Grande is envisioned as a landmark residential development in Al Hamra Village, Ras Al Khaimah, set between the Persian Gulf, lagoon, and golf course. The ambition was to create a calm, human-centric living environment shaped by panoramic views and clear circulation.​

The project places strong emphasis on amenity-driven daily life, expressed through a simple and refined architectural language.​

The design takes shape as two slender towers, oriented to frame uninterrupted views of the sea, lagoon, and landscape. A signature central bridge links the towers, acting as both an architectural focal point and a moment of connection. Sweeping balconies extend living spaces outward, strengthening the indoor–outdoor relationship.​At ground level, arrival transitions seamlessly into a layered Japanese garden, setting a calm rhythm from the first moment. Carefully positioned cores preserve key view corridors, while stepped outdoor and leisure spaces form a continuous sequence of shared experiences, shaping a coastal residence defined by clarity, comfort, and connection to place.

Design Development

The design shapes residential, office, and amenity volumes from a simple mass. Rotated forms frame sea and Downtown views, while terraces, podiums, and a central plaza unite community and landscape.​

“At Soto Grande, every element — from the rotation of the towers and the sweeping balconies to the central bridge and landscaped podium — was carefully placed to enhance views, connectivity, and comfort. It’s more than apartments; it’s a human-centered environment where architecture, landscape, and daily life come together.”
