What the broker says …This property has a very distinct style – what inspired it?The building itself is inspired by the classic Venetian roots of the Mr C brand, with modern design touches thanks to Arquitectonica and Meyer Davis Studio.
Throughout the project the details support the water-bound theme of luxury yacht design. The soft forms imply a relaxed mood reflecting the idea of a resort nestled in the city. The idea of the soft facade shaped like waves is because it’s on a canal and relates to the currents flowing of the canal, and is a reference to the wind blowing in the Jumeirah neighbourhood. The property has a Downtown Dubai backdrop and is located on the Dubai Canal in JumeirahWill there be a Cipriani within the complex?There will be a Bellini Cafe – inspired by the famous Bellini cocktail from Harry’s Bar. In 1948 at his famous Venice bar, Ignazio Cipriani’s great-grandfather, Giuseppe Cipriani, invented the drink, inspired by Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini.
