These three residential blocks represent the first phase of the Merville Urban Project in Saadiyat. The development occupies a site area of approximately 5,000 m² and enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views of the sea.

The project offers two villa typologies—Simplex Villas and Duplex Villas—designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles while maintaining a high standard of comfort and privacy.

The three blocks are interconnected by a central vertical circulation core, with split-level landings providing independent entrances to each villa. This configuration enhances accessibility while preserving the individuality of every residence.

Pedestrian walkways connect the villas and define private landscaped lawns, creating a harmonious balance between built spaces and greenery.

The floor plans have been carefully designed to maximize functionality by eliminating unnecessary circulation and wasted space. The reception area opens onto a landscaped balcony garden, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors and enhancing the connection between the interior and its surroundings.
