One Za’abeel is a visionary design that pushes engineering and design to the limit: it consists of two skyscrapers separated by a horizontal walkway – “The Link” – the name of the cantilever horizontal portion of the complex that floats 100 metres above the ground, spanning 226 metres. The beating heart of the project, it hosts bars, eleven exclusive restaurants and boutiques, wellness centres, a spectacular infinity swimming pool and a panoramic terrace.

Housing hotels, offices and luxury homes, the two towers – One Za’abeel Tower and One Za’abeel The Residences – respectively 300 and 235 metres high, the first with 68 floors and the second with 58, offers a range of extra-luxury amenities aiming to attract a high-profile international clientèle, with all kinds of comforts and experiences. In this luxury context, the surfaces produced by Fiandre Architectural Surfaces using technologically advanced natural raw materials are ideal. The brand is able to supply bespoke ceramic solutions for projects with high added value, supporting its clients in expressing the identity of projects of this scope and increasingly positioning its surfaces in the high end of the market.

One Za’abeel Tower offers pioneering workspaces, exclusive attics, the One&Only resort, the One&Only Private Homes, as well as the SIRO Hotel which blends the concept of hospitality with cutting-edge holistic fitness experiences. On the other hand, sophisticated design and contemporary elegance are the key features of the 264 ultra-luxury panoramic apartments – of different types and sizes, including duplexes, up to an attic with 5 bedrooms – in the One Za’abeel The Residences tower. Here, Fiandre’s expertise, together with its distributor partner Arteco Ceramics, is showcased by innovative applications and the ability to meet the demand for tailored solutions with bespoke features, including brass inlays and decorations, as well as the consultancy provided to create coverings for furnishings and counter tops.

In line with the United Arab Emirates’ goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050, One Za’abeel aims to offer the highest standards of sustainability, meeting the requirements of the LEED Gold certification in all its design and functional aspects. The choice of using Fiandre surfaces, designed with the same approach, falls ideally within this vision that seeks to respect and protect the environmental heritage, creating well-being through materials. The Italian-made technical ceramic surfaces of the Iris Ceramica Group brands, including Fiandre Architectural Surfaces, have obtained Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver, issued by “The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute”, one of the most ambitious global standards for the design and production of safe, circular and responsible products.
