Riviera Residences by MERED
Designed by the world-renowned Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron—creators of the Beijing Olympic Stadium ("Bird's Nest"), 56 Leonard in New York, and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg—Riviera Residences marks an unprecedented fusion of high architectural artistry, maritime heritage, and French Riviera glamour on the waterfront of Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi.
Rising G+35 floors along the tranquil waters of Oval Bay in the Shams district, the tower's iridescent facade is inspired by the region's ancient pearl-diving heritage. Shimmering composite panels catch the Gulf sunlight and reflect shifting azure water hues across every angle. Surrounding the tower, master landscape architect Michel Desvigne Paysagiste (MDP) has woven over 15,000 botanical plants and 300 mature shaded trees into lush gardens, culminating in a tranquil 17th-floor Sky Garden overlooking the Abu Dhabi skyline.
