@jumeirahmarsaalarab has been recognised as ‘Gold Winner – Mixed-Use Architecture (Built)’ at the Global Architecture & Design Awards 2025 by @architecture.pressrelease . Anchored between land and sea, the design draws from Dubai’s maritime legacy, sculpted like a superyacht setting sail. Every curve, terrace, and light-filled space was shaped to evoke emotion, to create a sense of movement and connection that transcends form and function. At Killa Design, we strive to create architecture that is timeless, contextually inspired, and deeply connected to its surroundings, offering more than buildings, but experiences that resonate far beyond the physical form. #KillaDesign Creating a #SustainableFuture #JumeirahMarsaAlArab #Award #Architecture #DesignExcellence #LuxuryDesign #Innovation #Sustainability #ArchitectureDesign #Architects #HospitalityDesign

A new chapter has just been released. @jumeirahmarsaalarab stands as the third icon in a trilogy that began with Jumeirah Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Inspired by the elegance of a superyacht, the design celebrates Dubai’s maritime heritage while looking firmly to the future of ultra luxury hospitality. For us, it was about creating a place of flow, where the sea, the skyline, and the spirit of Dubai come together in one seamless experience. Episode 1 of Where Worlds Meet explores the story behind this vision with @shaun.killa . #KillaDesign Creating a #SustainableFuture #Jumeirah #JumeirahMarsaAlArab #Architect #Architecture #ArchiLovers #Archidaily #architexture #Architectural #Architecture_hunter #ArchitectureDesign #ArchitectureDaily #ArchitectureLover #Design #Sustainability #Dubai #UAE #Architects #LuxuryHospitality #Luxury 🎥 : @jumeirah
