Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto has unveiled his first residential project in the UAE, the Baccarat Residences, located next to Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island, setting a new global benchmark for ultra-prime living..
Developed by Aldar Properties, Baccarat Residences Saadiyat integrates 262-years crystal heritage of the legendary French Maison, Baccarat, into a sophisticated architectural form. Comprising of 77 exclusive homes, including two- and three-bedroom residences, expansive four-bedroom sky villas, and two signature penthouses, Sou Fujimoto Architects drew inspiration from the natural ebbs and flows of Saadiyat Island’s shoreline to compose a striking sculpture that offers a fluid transition between the shoreline and horizon.
The interiors have been envisioned by StudioPCH, a Los Angeles-based design studio renowned for its refined approach to luxury. Drawing inspiration from neoclassical aesthetics, the interior concept balances symmetry, texture, a soft palette and opulence along with modern functionality.
A meticulously curated suite of amenities and services will transform day-to-day living into an effortlessly elevated experience at Baccarat Residences Saadiyat. Residents will have access to a private residents-only spa and wellness centre featuring a state-of-the-art fitness suite, private treatment rooms, a serene relaxation lounge and rain room. The outdoor infinity pool with private cabanas is set within lush, landscaped gardens, providing residents a secluded space to retreat.
As one would expect 24-hour concierge and valet service is also available to manage all resident needs, from bespoke private dining experiences to private aviation arrangements. Reflecting Baccarat’s contemporary elegance and its commitment to craftsmanship, residents will receive priority access to the brand’s events, private shopping experiences, and bespoke interiors guidance for crystal, lighting and design, allowing each home to be curated as a lasting expression of individuality and heritage.
