Challenged by the Client's brief to produce a residential building that would attract a niche clientele of discerning international investors, Atkins has designed a building which raises the benchmark of residential luxury in Dubai still further.
Le Reve is situated on a prime site offering panoramic views which overlook the Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Palm Island. The building is unique in that it exclusively comprises residential penthouse apartments, the type and size of which are currently unavailable elsewhere in Dubai.
Resting on a 15m high podium, the 200m high residential tower has 31 floors of half-floor, luxury apartments in a classic or modern theme; a further 10 floors are dedicated solely to full-floor deluxe apartments; the top floor has a super deluxe penthouse with its large terraces facing the sea. The apartments' generous floor to ceiling height further maximises the sense of spaciousness.
The design is dominantly presented in the expressed curtain walling façade and striking combination of precast concrete and window banding to the building's elevation. The result is an elegant landmark with a simplistic form that belies the luxury of the sumptuously appointed apartments within.
The ground floor provides exclusive car parking for the residents and drivers' accommodation. The three-storey podium deck accommodates heated and chilled outdoor swimming pools as well as a health suite and access to children's play facilities. Building services are located in the basement, and at levels 3, 24 and 45.
In most apartment buildings, the most sumptuous sits at the top – the penthouse. Le Rêve is all penthouses! Aimed at the wealthy who want privacy and discretion along with the best in home luxury, the building contains quarters for staff and drivers at the bottom, enabling owners to enjoy a lifestyle normally reserved for exclusive hotels.
All residents of Le Rêve benefit from secure private valet parking (with separate living accommodation for chauffeurs on parking floors), access to the temperature-controlled rooftop pool and landscaped gardens, a fully-equipped gymnasium and 24-hour concierge service.

OTHER DETAILs
This new 46-storey building resting on a 15m high podium at Dubai Marina is made unusual by the type and size of apartments that it will offer once complete. Aimed at a niche clientele, the apartment sizes are larger than usual with increased floor to ceiling heights. The 15m high podium accommodates the recreational facilities at deck level including the swimming pool and health club as well as access to the children's play area. The car parking and drivers' accommodation are accommodated in three storeys below. Services are confined to the basement, ground floor, third floor, 24th floor and the 45th floor.
The most significant feature of the building is the strong horizontal banding in a combination of concrete and glass across all facades. Terraces are angled to respect neighbour's privacy.
