The project and its setting

Serenia District – West Residence sits within Serenia District, a lakeside community in Jumeirah Islands organised around landscaped water features and Serenity Lake. The wider district comprises six residential towers, podium townhouses and six lifestyle zones, while West Residence is recorded as a mixed-use residential building with retail space. Its building configuration includes a basement, ground floor, three podium levels, 43 floors and a roof level. Swimming pools are planned on the first floor, while gym and spa facilities are planned across the first and second podium levels. The community design places homes, social spaces, recreation areas and landscaped elements around the lake setting.

Architecture and residential design

The architectural concept for Serenia District draws on Japanese design principles, with clean lines, open spaces and connections between indoor and outdoor environments. Palma Development collaborated with Nikken Sekkei on the architectural vision for the district. The design approach is described through the Ireko philosophy, with an emphasis on simplicity, symmetry and considered use of space. Natural materials and soft ambient lighting form part of the stated interior and exterior design direction. The buildings are also planned with starlight façade lighting. Homes are positioned to provide views across Jumeirah Islands and Dubai’s skyline, while the community setting includes outlooks towards Serenity Lake.
