MERED
Riviera Residences is a large, ambitious development that embodies the aspirations of its context within Abu Dhabi while maintaining a human scale. Encompassing 240,000 square meters along Oval Bay in Shams, the project establishes a new waterfront neighborhood on Al Reem Island, integrating over 850 residential units with recreational amenities, an active retail promenade, and parking within a powerful singular gesture. To anchor this diverse program across two adjacent plots, we created a new typology — a terraced landscape that incorporates parking, courtyard villas, gardens, retail, and amenities within a cohesive, accessible whole. The podium transforms the given constraints into an opportunity, proposing an urban architectural response that fosters connections with the surroundings. Rising from this plinth are two elevated residential towers, their massing carefully staggered to form a slim vertical slab offering unobstructed panoramic views. Crowning the towers is a layer of sky-villas that step back progressively from the center, creating a roofline that opens toward the sky.
