ocated in the heart of Dubai’s Downtown area, the
Address Residence Fountain Views, designed by
regional architecture firm Dewan Architects + En-
gineers with associates DP Architects and Atkins,
is a set of three mixed-use buildings perched atop a multi-
level podium.
Designed for Emaar Properties, one of the UAE’s leading
developers, Fountain Views is one of the most recent addi-
tions to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed Boulevard, a wind-
ing circular road that’s home to Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and
Souk Al Bahar.
An extension to the Dubai Mall, the project contains a po-
dium with three floors of retail and nine levels of parking,
while above this sits a mix of service apartments (783 units in
total) and a five-star, 193-key Address Hotel. The three build-
ings are connected via the podium as well as a bridge that also
links back to the mall.
According to Yann Pennes, projects director at Dewan,
the architects were tasked with creating a project design of
“unique character” while providing the maximum efficiency
in use. This was achieved by designing the towers’ façades to
