About The Arthouse in Saadiyat Island

Designed around a walkable, low-density community, the project delivers studios to family-sized apartments across a composition of residential towers. Each residence is finished to the standard now expected of branded Saadiyat Island stock, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, integrated kitchens and practical storage throughout.

The masterplan keeps density disciplined, so light, privacy and views are protected rather than traded away for unit count. Communal spaces are placed where residents actually use them — podium level and rooftop — rather than buried behind the lobby.

The numbers frame the offer clearly: apartments layouts.
