ELLE Residences

ELLE Residences on Dubai Islands introduces the first ELLE-branded residential address in the Middle East, shaped by the enduring cultural legacy of the ELLE brand.

Positioned along the waterfront, the project translates a distinctly editorial sensibility into architecture – measured in proportion, refined in detail, and oriented toward expansive views of sea and skyline. Through a carefully articulated composition of layered balconies and sculpted frames, we sought to establish a composed yet expressive identity within Dubai’s evolving coastal context. The structural rhythm is expressed as a continuous architectural outline that wraps the building, lending coherence and depth to the façade while accentuating its vertical cadence.

Comprising a curated collection of residences – from one- to three-bedroom apartments and select townhouses – the project prioritises spatial generosity and continuity between interior and exterior. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, generous terraces, and a nuanced material palette introduce a subtle Parisian influence, balancing softness with precision. The interplay of solid and void enhances transparency while maintaining a strong architectural presence along the shoreline, framing daily life through light, openness and fluid movement.

ELLE Residences stands as a considered translation of identity into built form – where design, culture and place converge with quiet confidence.
