Dubai’s new residential community, The Cape, introduces 286 apartments designed around canopy living. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Dubai, DIFC, and the airport, Al Barari has established itself as Dubai’s pioneering community for over two decades, setting a benchmark for luxury living that prioritizes wellbeing.
Centered on the concept of canopy living, the design of The Cape maximizes views and visually connects to surrounding landscaped greenery and water features with the interior spaces. Pedestrians are prioritized, and vehicle access is discreetly incorporated into the scheme through portals that lead to underground parking. Floor-to-ceiling windows maximize natural light, while indoor-outdoor connections are supported through dedicated balcony space.
Comprised of three mid-rise building blocks, the site is positioned to align with prevailing wind directions for natural cooling. Occupying at 140,00 sq ft plot, the scheme accommodates apartment units with a total floor area of 500,000 sq ft that range from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom duplexes. Amenities focus on wellbeing and family-oriented lifestyles, including a swimming pool, wellness treatment rooms, gym, co-working lounge, multipurpose rooftop lounge, kid’s club and a family pool.
Defined by a fluid aesthetic, the development reflects a natural approach that enhances the resident experience. Neutral-toned materials are utilized throughout the scheme to minimize heat gain while providing a sense of comfort. The horizontal rhythm of the facades act as a visually dynamic and unifying element, tying the soft forms of The Cape to nearby schemes characterized by sharp, straight lines.
Within the wider Al Barari masterplan, the design team has worked on additional landmark projects including Seventh Heaven and Ashjar.
