Architecture and Design

The architecture of VELA Viento was created by Foster + Partners, with horizontal lines, smooth curves and interconnected forms establishing a distinctive presence above Marasi Bay. The architectural concept uses open spaces and voids between the towers to create changing relationships between light, shadow, interior spaces and the surrounding skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows maximize natural light, while landscaped terraces extend the living environment outdoors. Selected residences add private pools, double-height living spaces and distinctive suspended living and dining areas that appear to bridge the towers.

Gilles & Boissier bring a refined interior language to VELA Viento, balancing contemporary detailing with timeless materials and elegant proportions. The design complements the architecture while keeping views, light and spaciousness central to the residential experience. The Horizon Residences also offer an exclusive interior design option by Banda Studio, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalism and a material palette inspired by the natural movement of wind and the waterfront environment.

Luxury Residences at VELA Viento

The residential collection ranges from elegant homes close to the waterfront to elevated residences and dramatic duplexes positioned high above Marasi Bay.

Viento Residences

The 2- and 3-bedroom Viento Residences occupy the levels closest to the water. Open-plan interiors maximise light and create a natural transition towards large terraces, while selected residences feature private pools. These homes take their character from the movement of Marasi Bay, creating a relaxed waterfront atmosphere while retaining convenient access to the development's amenities and promenade.

Horizon Residences

Positioned more than 100 metres above the city, the 3- and 4-bedroom Horizon Residences provide elevated views and a greater sense of separation from the surrounding urban environment. The collection includes simplex and duplex configurations, generous private terraces and private pools in selected residences. Expansive glazing strengthens the connection between the interiors, waterfront and Dubai skyline.

Skybridge Duplexes

VELA Viento includes three exclusive 4-bedroom Skybridge Duplexes. Each incorporates two private pools and a distinctive suspended living and dining space between the towers. The architectural arrangement creates an exceptional sense of openness, connecting the residences with the surrounding sky, city and waterfront while maintaining the privacy of a substantial private home.
