UPA - Urbanism Planning Architecture - entrusted with the project to build a prestigious and luxurious complex (for women only) in the United Arab Emirates
Milan, July 2020 - The first club dedicated exclusively to women was built in the splendid setting of Abu Dhabi, overlooking a lagoon in the crystal clear sea of the Persian Gulf. In the new club, luxury and comfort bear the signature of Urbanism Planining Architecture, an international architecture firm with offices in Milan and Abu Dhabi. The main architect of the Italian- Emirati firm and co-founder is the Italian architect Paolo Lettieri, along with CEO Iraqi architect Aswan Zubaidi.
This elegant and luxurious structure represents an oasis of well-being and relaxation for women only.
A club where women can experience, in complete privacy and confidentiality, all the pleasures of luxury, body care and relaxation.
The project was started in 2008 with the first sketches of the concept of the architect Paolo Lettieri, who in addition to the Club House project, has been involved in the design of many internal areas over time. The designers of the entire complex also include the architect Aswan Zubaidi and the Interior Designer Sahar A. Yousif .
The modern and organic architecture of the Club House (the 12,000 sqm main building) recalls the floral forms in plan: the client's request was to have a unique building, highly iconic and with sinuous and non-rigid shapes. The sinuous forms have generated fluid and unusual spaces that make this architecture highly characterizing. The plant embraces a semi-covered central space is called Festival Space. In this space there are the outdoor swimming pool and the solarium area overlooking the park and the beach.
The cladding of the building is in stone, while the floors of the prestigious areas are in Carrara Calacatta marble.
The Club House includes a restaurant, a cafeteria, a lounge area and a VIP area, a fitness area and a VIP fitness area, a semi-Olympic indoor swimming pool with a relaxation area with whirlpools, a kindergarten, some shops and boutiques and finally a new one music school which will be inaugurated in September 2020.
The Club House was inaugurated in June 2018 and the very strong success of the structure led UPA to design an extension of this: in particular, the extension of one of the petals of the structure was required to accommodate the extension of the fitness room (bringing it over 1800 sqm) and new gym and aerobics rooms for a total of an additional 2,500 sqm. The inauguration is scheduled for 2023.
The complex also has an area dedicated to outdoor sports such as a regular soccer field with related stands and changing rooms (500 sqm) surrounded by an athletics track, tennis courts and a shed for small boats and water sports equipment.
