What you buy at The Archive
The available housing types are studios and apartments with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. Floor areas range from 36 to 176 m2. Each home is designed with the library theme in mind: in the living room a fixed bookshelf is integrated, next to a reading lamp and a comfortable chair overlooking the skyline. In the bedroom there is a wall shelf just past the bed, so books are within reach without getting up. Even in the kitchen there is an illuminated bookshelf next to the coffee making area. The finish uses neutral tones and natural materials, appropriate to the library atmosphere.
The layout of the apartments is functional and focused on reading comfort. In addition to standard amenities such as a modern kitchen and bathroom, each property has smart storage space for books. The studios are compact and suitable for singles or couples, while the larger apartments with 2 and 3 bedrooms offer more space for families. All homes have large windows that provide a lot of natural light, which makes reading pleasant. The apartments are delivered with a high quality finish and are immediately ready for habitation. The bathrooms and kitchens are equipped with modern fixtures and materials of good quality.
Architecture of The Archive by Imtiaz Developments
The Archive consists of two residential towers of 17 floors each connected by a shared podium. The towers are located on the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and have a striking architecture with stacked cantilevers, glass facades and bronze-colored metal accents. On the ground floor there is a central entrance hall which is designed as a library with about 10,000 books, a writer’s room and a reading lounge. The roof offers a reading salon with fireplace and a sky lounge. The podium includes covered seats, a gym, a playground, a multifunctional lounge and a BBQ room.
Imtiaz Developments is the developer of The Archive. The company is known for projects with a high degree of finishing and attention to detail, and The Archive is no exception. The concept is fully built around the theme of reading and books, which manifests itself in both the architecture and the furnishing of the common spaces and the homes. The community has a quiet and inviting atmosphere, partly due to the many reading places and the carefully chosen materials. The two towers share a number of amenities on the podium, allowing residents to meet easily.
