RP HEIGHTS
DOWNTOWN DUBAI - DUBAI, UAE
The RP heights Tower will be one of Dubai’s tallest buildings when completed, its height is
a major driver for its distinctive architectural form. This newly proposed residential tower
focuses on both cutting edge technology and sustainability. The tower is located within the
area of Downtown Dubai, opposite to the world’s largest Shopping Mall; The Dubai Mall
and in close proximity to the tallest tower in the world; Burj Khalifa.
By drawing inspiration from the twisting fluidity of natural lines that are found in sand dunes,
as well as to incorporate the flowing forms and organic punctuation in the landscape, the
tower’s design does not only attempt to achieve the perfect synergy between nature and
space but also to establish itself in the urban context of Dubai as one of its most distinctive
additions to the city’s existing skyline.

NAD AL HAMAR HEIGHTS
NAD AL HAMAR - DUBAI, UAE
The creation of the Nad Al Hamar flows from the inside to the outside, allowing the design to strictly follow the
function in the case of this stylish residential building. The uncompromising function complies fully with the investor
program. There are straight orthogonal forms in the layout, which bring comfort and flexibility to the interior space
organization. The small number of apartments per floor increases the feeling of luxury living and provides them with
more privacy.
The design of Nad Al Hamar contains strict elegance and soft frame-like elements. The building is perceived equally
well in the overall silhouette and from different angles. The feeling of elegance and sophistication is emphasized
by the facade materials as well as the building’s relation to the human scale. Our overall aspiration was to ‘marry’
current housing needs and issues with specific site conditions; to design a collective housing building that offers
people a sense of belonging, identity and community.

MARINA PROMENADE
DUBAI MARINA - DUBAI, UAE
Before Dubai Marina became the internationally
known touristic attraction that it is today, it was a
mere vision that was achieved by the hard work and
determination of the leaders and the people of the
UAE. The Marina Promenade was one of the very
first projects to be launched in the Dubai Marina
area, which drove us to make sure that we set the
bar high for any project that followed.
The Marina Promenade Development does not
only hold a special place in Arif and Bintoak’s
catalog, but it also played a vital part in the urban
regeneration programme that was set for the area
of Dubai Marina and its surroundings. The six tower
complex form an instantly recognizable landmark
on this important water front site. Nestled within the
panoramic confines of Dubai Marina, this premium
residential enclave, overlooks the widest and most
scenic part of the bay and is ideally located opposite
the prestigious Dubai Marina Yacht Club.
The project consists of six luxury towers varying
from 45 to 50 storeys in height and anchored on a
large podium; with a set of capacious villas that have
spectacular views of the bay, and the sea beyond.
The podium also contains numerous retail spaces
as well as parking spaces for the residents and the
visitors of the development. The podium’s roof is
landscaped with lush greenery, luxurious swimming
pools, decks, community spaces and recreational
facilities.
The 40 plus years of experience that Arif & Bintoak
has garnered, combined with the multidisciplinary
team of 500 plus professionals that cover almost
every aspect of the profession enabled the company
to handle such a large-scale project with ease,
and deliver it with acute precision and ensure an
optimum output that meets international standards
of excellence in architecture and engineering.
The project was procured on a design-build basis.
Arif & Bintoak were the lead consultant and architect
of record for the project, and were responsible for
all project phases from the design development
stage to the end of the construction supervision
stage.
