Dubai is the place where architectural projects never rest, and luxury neighborhoods keep expanding without limits. In Dubai, The Alba project, led by developer Omniyat and Dorchester Collection under the design of Zaha Hadid Architects, was unveiled.
This space introduces a new concept in residences where sustainable development is also a key aspect of construction, promising a series of green spaces and elevated gardens for the whole family. The design is another standout feature of this project, as it recreates the look of old cruise ships with an impressive view of the Palm Jumeirah coastline.
The Alba, Dubai’s new promise
The Alba Residences is yet another of the city’s ambitious projects, set to come to life in 2028. This site will feature units with two and three bedrooms, single-level homes, duplexes, and penthouses, all boasting innovative decor with bright, expansive interiors designed by Gilles & Boissier, ceiling heights of over three meters, and the best views of the entire city.
Gardens will be a crucial part of this urban development and will be overseen by Vladimir Djurovic, who has envisioned ideal green spaces adapted to the city. The gardens will feature arched shapes defined by the buildings’ contours, where vegetation will form cascading landscapes, including lily ponds and shaded pathways.
Dubai’s most significant project committed to ecological development
Current proposals in Dubai continue to prioritize ecological and sustainable approaches. This project contributes to the creation of green spaces that benefit the environment, while also providing residents with enjoyable outdoor areas. In addition to this policy, The Alba Residences offers an incredible service where residents will enjoy top-tier amenities.
Beyond its connection to nature, this new neighborhood offers unique dining experiences, premium spa treatments, and elegantly decorated rooms. Each residence also includes its own private services, such as private pools, outdoor jacuzzis, and spacious terraces to enjoy the open air. «With panoramic sea views, expansive private terraces, and immersive wellness offerings, The Alba will create a sophisticated oasis for awakening, reconnecting, and renewing,» its creators announced.
What is the «Sustainable City» within Dubai?
Dubai’s Sustainable City is one of the world’s most cutting-edge projects, setting a precedent since its construction in 2014. Currently, it spans over 46 hectares and features buildings that meet high ecological standards, housing three thousand residents. It also includes 500 grouped villas, each cluster consisting of 90 villas with a patio, eight with a garden, and two exclusive ones.
The two-story residences are L-shaped and designed to meet the highest environmental performance standards, featuring solar panels on every home. Additionally, these constructions are oriented north to avoid direct sunlight. A unique aspect of this type of neighborhood is that the areas where these villas are located are designed to be car-free zones, with narrow, shaded streets reminiscent of the oldest Arab neighborhoods.
