Art Bay - Ellington Properties

The Brief — A New Complex Besides the Art District

 

Ellington Property, a design-led property developer in Dubai, is planning its next residential development situated at the most cultural district of Dubai — Al Jaddaf.

The brief is to brand differently from luxury apartments in the current market and focus on the fact that it is a cultural village and will be in high contact with art itself.

Branding

London, Dubai

Current State - Construction

Under the team of Eight Inc.

Research Insights — Calligraphy Shaped By Culture 

Since the property is situated in the UAE, we have studied the form of Arabian calligraphy, whose strokes are different from the English and the Eastern calligraphy.

The Idea — Home is A Work of Art

The concept of home is an act of care and creativity that extends beyond physical features and amenities. Art Bay is a property that’s perfected by a blend of nurture and culture. Surrounded by a plethora of galleries and museums, and filled with family amenities and large living spaces, it’s ideal for those who thrive on creativity.
