A modern and contemporary development, The Address Beach Resort & Spa is the first Address Hotel and Residences property located on the beach in the prime JBR area. This new beachfront development integrates a hotel branded by premium luxury five-star Address Hotel, fully serviced apartments, and luxury residences within an iconic 77-storey architectural marvel. KCA was appointed to design all interiors of the development which has been reflect the iconic and residential nature of The Address Hotels and Resorts brand. The design direction for this unique property can be best described by key words – Sophisticated, Timeless Beauty, Freshness, Simplicity, Elegance.
The Penthouse is a luxury retreat spread across three floors at the top of building optimizing the views to the Arabian Gulf and the Palm Jumeirah. The interior design style has been taken from the design philosophy that “The Address Hotels & Resorts are warm and inviting in feel, radiating contemporary elegance using earth tone colours.” The interiors creatively translate the ethos of living a good and luxury life by the sea. The ID inspiration came from the spectacular views and surroundings: neutral colors are enlivened with splashes of marine blues and green evoking subtly a beachside sensibility.
The main floor of the Penthouse is located on level 75 and the 4m high ceilings in the entrance, majlis, show kitchen and dining area have huge impact on the space and allows the guest full views of the sea allowing natural light to flood the rooms. Beige and taupe tones are the base for the accent shades of teal. Hard finishes include light timber wood panelling, dark furniture timber, contrasting dark metal accents and lightly coloured lacquered furniture. High quality book matched stone is a continuing design language throughout the space on feature walls and counter tops and the furniture style is modern and warm with an exciting mix of textures and colours, elegant high-end finishes and details.
The master bedroom suite is located at the apex of the curve of the building with a large walk-in dressing area and master bathroom with free standing bath, elongated double marble vanity and feature 3D travertine wall tiles. The sheer size of the bathroom creates a spa like environment for guests to truly indulge in.
The Penthouse continues to impress with an architectural double height volume from level 73 to 74 and is one of the main features in keeping with the scale and iconic nature of the building. This volume of space creates the ‘grand sense of arrival’ with a full view to the sea beyond and is designed to bring together the soft color palettes and modern furniture pieces in a harmonious blend without detracting from the view. Light coloured marble and timber and dark metal accents relate directly to the modern building. The living room and show kitchen provide a large entertainment area highlighted with a book matched marble feature wall in the living space extending 7m to the ceiling. With the addition of a loft space added above the show kitchen for a master bedroom suite with walk in dressing area and large bathroom with a 2m wide free standing circular bath, the Penthouse is the pinnacle of luxury living.
Artwork within the Penthouse has been carefully curated together with the artwork consultant, Ophelia Art. Whilst the main hotel has a gentle softness to the art, the Penthouse has a more contemporary feel with a boldness to it. Two dramatic sea scape paintings hang in the double height space beside the cantilevered staircase on level 73 which reflect the changing nature of the sea below. Vibrant blues and greens are used on all of the canvases and with the addition of 3D sculptural resin and perspex installations, the overall style is a marriage of art and elegance.
