2. Could you share the inspiration behind the designs of these projects? What elements influenced the architectural vision?
The designs of our projects, Vista and The Residence, draw inspiration from various elements to create unique architectural visions.
For Vista, we collaborated with LACASA, a leading consultancy firm in the region. The design process was fortunate to start with a large plot size and a low Floor-Area Ratio (FAR). This allowed us to maximize the available space for amenities and create an exceptional living experience. We worked closely with LACASA to position all our units to face the golf course, except for the studios, which overlook the back. This exclusive feature of having units facing the golf estate is rare in the Dubai Real Estate market. The design also emphasizes abundant natural light and spaciousness, taking into consideration the principles of feng shui to create a harmonious living environment.
In the case of The Residence, we collaborated with Model Engineering and ZNera, the latter being renowned for their design of the loop around the Burj Khalifa. Our vision for The Residence was to create a boutique development with fewer than 100 units. We worked closely with the authorities to design the layout in a way that deviated from the traditional L-shape and instead formed an open V-shape. This unique design choice allowed us to maximize the space between units, offering better views and increased sunlight. By incorporating these architectural elements, we aimed to provide residents with a distinctive and comfortable living experience within The Residence.
3. What are some unique design elements incorporated into these projects that set them apart in the industry?
Our projects, Vista and The Residence, stand out in the industry with their unique design elements. First, we prioritize square units to maximize usable space, promoting functionality and comfort for residents.
Secondly, both developments offer exceptional amenities. Vista features a jogging track, outdoor cinema, and various spaces for relaxation and entertainment. The Residence emphasizes amenities and floor design, ensuring residents can enjoy their stay and make the most of the available facilities. In addition, we have chosen a timeless pastel color palette that adds elegance and sophistication to the projects, blending seamlessly with different design styles.
Through these unique design elements, we have crafted extraordinary living spaces that prioritize functionality, luxury amenities, aesthetic appeal, and an enhanced resident experience.
4. How does Prestige One Developments prioritize sustainability in its architectural designs? Can you highlight any specific sustainable design elements incorporated into the projects?
