The Marriott Residences Al Barsha South in Dubai by WA International were designed with the vision of places of sanctuary. With the dynamic city life of Dubai just minutes away, the aim was to craft apartments that would serve as serene retreats. Natural finishes such as warm wood, natural stone, and soft textured fabrics are used throughout, while open-plan kitchens with terrazzo counters feature in all residences. Spacious layouts create comfortable places for entertaining or quiet evenings, complemented by oversized sofas that enhance the sense of openness in the living, dining, and kitchen areas. With distant views of Dubai’s renowned skyline, the Marriott Residences offer the perfect urban sanctuary.

The interiors draw influence from the dynamic architecture of the three prominent towers and their suburban setting, providing a warm, relaxed sense of arrival that contrasts with the bold exterior. References to neighbouring world-class golf courses and prestigious equestrian polo clubs are also reflected in the details. The lobby concept emphasises layers of green walls, natural unrefined materials, and modern furniture with textured fabrics, establishing a residential aesthetic.

The Residence Lounge and gym overlook the outdoor pool terrace, once again with views of the city’s skyline and Dubai’s wonderful sunsets. In the apartments, a palette of neutrals with subtle blue accents, layered textures, and landscape-inspired patterns further reinforces the sanctuary concept, embodying the essence of Marriott Modern.
