Muraba Residences is a luxury propriety located on the exclusive Palm Jumeirah Island, Dubai. It is a building realized by RCR Arquitectes, a collection of 46 apartments and 4 penthauses, each one of them with a view over the ocean in the long of the iconic Dubai skyline.
The essential architecture allows a smooth transition from the outdoor to indoor, and somehow brings nature within the building. Using just few yet extremely sophisticated primal material throughout has a calming effect as it gives one the luxury of tuning out the cacophony of the outside world.
Instead of being surrounded by other constructions, one can enjoy an open view on the Ocean and have a peaceful retreat on a land in the middle of the sea, yet tightly connected to city. Sun always shining, with boundaryless horizons, and direct access to the beach the life on Palm Jumeirah shines brighter
RCR’s ability of including nature in architecture and designing spaces that always convey a sense of serenity is what pushed us to work with them to realize Muraba Residences. Given the unique location, the sea and the light to be integral part of the building.
RCR studied a way to orient the view of all the apartments towards the Ocean, and created a system of glass slits that direct the light into the rooms all they long, while protecting the privacy of individuals. The building’s façade, futuristic yet organic, came as a consequence, as the primal focus was to create residential spaces that felt good, timeless and desirable for those who were going to inhabit them.
