Element .78 stands as a distinctive residential building, redefining the local lifestyle with its emphasis on luxury and aesthetics. More than just a residential space, this building introduces an extended approach to living by integrating facilities beyond residential apartments, such as a gym, a dedicated area for kids, and a versatile rooftop with various services.
The design of Element .78 places a strong emphasis on incorporating green spaces, making it a defining feature of the project. The integration of hanging gardens and green areas becomes an integral part of the building’s identity, fostering a sense of openness within the internal spaces.
Strategically positioned, Element .78 offers breathtaking views, overlooking Burj Khalifa from the south-west, and the serene beauty of the Arabian Gulf from the north-east. This careful positioning enhances the luxury quotient and visual appeal of the apartments, providing residents with a truly pleasing living experience.
Element .78 offers more than just a living space—it provides residents with an engaging experience that starts from the lobby and extends to their individual apartments. The interior feeling is characterized by a subtle color palette that seamlessly combines minimalism, luxury, and clean design, reshaping the way residents experience daily living.
This transformative approach is further enhanced by the deliberate incorporation of green elements throughout the project, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The integration of nature into both common areas and individual apartments fosters a harmonious and refreshing ambiance, elevating the overall quality of living for Element .78 residents.
The rooftop of Element .78 transforms into a lush garden, featuring a sleek landscape and a range of facilities. An infinity pool offers stunning views of the cityscape, complemented by a pergola for sitting areas and benches for relaxation. This curated space allows residents to disconnect from urban life and experience a new definition of connecting with nature.
