Riviera Residences by Mered at Al Reem Island

Master Plan

The Riviera Residences masterplan at Al Reem Island reflects MERED’s understanding that a development whose five residential product types span the full range from apartment to sky villa must be planned with a masterplanning intelligence whose organisation of the different product types, their relationships with each other and with the shared community environment, and their individual orientations toward the Al Reem Island waterfront and the Abu Dhabi skyline, creates a coherent and harmonious community rather than a collection of different residential buildings whose diversity of format and scale is experienced as disorganisation rather than as the rich residential variety that the Riviera concept most naturally expresses.

The waterfront orientation of the Riviera Residences masterplan positions the development’s most generous and most exclusive residential products, the sky villas and the villas, in the relationship with the Al Reem Island waterfront and the Abu Dhabi sea horizon that their scale and their price point demand, while ensuring that every apartment, penthouse, and duplex within the development maintains a genuine and uncompromised connection to the Riviera waterfront character that defines the address rather than being positioned in the relationship with the more modest community views that lesser masterplanning decisions would have imposed on the smaller configurations in the interests of maximising the outlook premium for the most expensive products.

The Riviera landscape philosophy running through the masterplan at the scale of the shared gardens, the community pathways, the waterfront promenade, and the outdoor entertaining and leisure spaces whose design and planting create the Mediterranean outdoor living environment that the Riviera name promises and that MERED’s landscape investment ensures is delivered with the quality, the material warmth, and the planted richness that distinguishes a genuinely Riviera community environment from a generic luxury development whose landscaping carries the word without the character.
