Arcilla wins contract to develop and design 100,000sqft of real estate
The UAE-based business has an eight-site portfolio, including penthouses in Atlantis The Royal
Arcilla Property Partners has announced it has won contracts to develop and design more than 100,000sqft of luxury residential real estate in the UAE.
Founded by Alexis Stellakis and Harry Helsby, Arcilla’s portfolio of projects has risen to eight sites across the UAE, including two penthouses in the prestigious new residences at Atlantis The Royal, one three-bedroom and one five-bedroom. The company is fully redeveloping and designing the properties and their interiors, which are set to be completed, on schedule, by the end of the year.
For one of the properties, the penthouse owner who commissioned Arcilla as their developers and designers, acquired the 32nd floor of Atlantis The Royal off-plan in 2016. The design work then commenced in 2021, allowing for a full two-year process to visualise and craft every element of the interior architecture and design, including bespoke furniture and joinery designed by Arcilla and manufactured by a local fit-out partner, Bond Interiors.
The company said it is working to fulfil the UAE demand for a higher standard of quality and more understated luxury, that draws on the sophistication and style of design seen in other premier markets.
In addition to Atlantis The Royal, Arcilla is working on a growing number of ultra-luxury individual units, and larger-scale developments alongside their local partners across the UAE, including Reem Island, Abu Dhabi.
Harry Helsby, Co-founder and the Creative Director said, “It has been an incredible journey so far, and we’re privileged to be working on so many iconic property and interior architectural projects within our first few years of operation in the UAE. Here at Atlantis The Royal, we have designed every single item of furniture, down to the button going onto the headboard. We have tailored the size and scale of every single piece and item of joinery going in.”
Alexis Stellakis, Co-founder and Managing Director added, “We are seeing a trend from our clients for high quality, prestigious aesthetics within their properties. So, we are supporting them in this vision, bringing our own insight and experience in this space to the UAE. We see a big appetite for it here.”
