Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab has been recognised as ‘Gold Winner – Mixed-Use Architecture (Built)’ at the Global Architecture & Design Awards 2025 by Architecture Press Release.

Anchored between land and sea, the design draws from Dubai’s maritime legacy, sculpted like a superyacht setting sail. Every curve, terrace, and light-filled space was shaped to evoke emotion, to create a sense of movement and connection that transcends form and function.

At Killa Design, we strive to create architecture that is timeless, contextually inspired, and deeply connected to its surroundings, offering more than buildings, but experiences that resonate far beyond the physical form.
