brad wilkins of hks unveils one residence in downtown dubai

 

Ginco Properties and HKS have unveiled One Residence, a new highrise condominium tower in Downtown Dubai marked with a striking curvilinear facade. With the design concept led by Brad Wilkins, the structure is enveloped by a sequence of rounded earth-toned balconies that echo the UAE’s sweeping sand dunes, maritime heritage, and contemporary water-centric economy. From here, residents can enjoy expansive views of the city and its canals while sheltered from the sun by shading elements that harness the breeze to optimize thermal comfort. Construction of One Residence is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2024, with completion anticipated by 2027.

rhythmic curves unravel across the earth-toned facade

 

Luxury living in the heart of the city, One Residence emphasizes fostering community and well-being, with a focus on bridging indoors and outdoors, climate-sensitive features, and state-of-the-art amenities. Brad Wilkins, formerly of HKS, further marks One Residence’ fluid form by spacious floor plates, large outdoor areas, and scenic terraces. The building’s abstract geometries use contoured, patterned, and numerically arranged elements that persist in nature, purified in a rhythmic language that nods to the regional Emirati craft of Al Sadu weaving.

 

Nature is further integrated into the residences, as views of the outdoors are optimized to enhance well-being through scenic views including the visibility of biodiversity. Meanwhile, outdoor spaces meld into living areas, bringing in the sight, sound, and sensation of water to communal spaces to uplift and de-stress. Within, the tower houses 453 units, ranging from high-end studios to four-bedroom units, as well as co-working spaces, infinity-edge pools, a fitness center, outdoor lounges, a cinema, and a children’s play area.
