Project general facts

Atélis is a distinctive residential development designed by the renowned architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), inspired by the elegance and resilience of a desert flower. Its architecture is defined by fluid, petal-like balconies that create an organic and striking silhouette, while sweeping curves, warm natural tones, and subtle bronze accents continue throughout the interiors. The development offers a selection of residences ranging from 1-bedroom apartments to expansive Sky Villas and penthouses, combining contemporary design with a refined living experience.

The development offers a carefully curated selection of amenities designed to support relaxation, wellbeing, and community living. Residents can enjoy cascading pools, lush garden rooms, layered outdoor spaces, co-working lounges, entertainment areas, a fully equipped gym, and dedicated children’s learning zones. Thoughtfully designed spaces create a balance between tranquil surroundings and vibrant social areas, offering a comfortable lifestyle for residents of all ages.

The residences feature contemporary open-plan layouts with high-quality materials and modern finishes, creating elegant and comfortable interiors. Private balconies and terraces provide panoramic views, while Sky Villas and penthouses offer additional luxury with double-height spaces, sculptural staircases, and expansive outdoor areas. The kitchens are equipped, while the residences are offered unfurnished.
