The Island Facing the Corniche, Coming to Life

Residences · Resorts · Waterfront Homes

For decades, Al Lulu lay just off the Abu Dhabi Corniche as a promise waiting to be kept — the island Sheikh Zayed set aside as a gift to the nation, held in reserve while Saadiyat, Reem, and Al Maryah rose around it. Now it is being brought to life as the capital's next waterfront address, low-rise and green, a few hundred metres from the city yet ringed by open Gulf. Interior design on Al Lulu Island begins with that rare position — the Corniche skyline on one side, the sea on the other. Algedra is ready to design the residences and resort homes this island will hold, drawing on our waterfront work across Abu Dhabi's islands. Begin the conversation early.

A view in two directions. With the Abu Dhabi skyline across the channel and the Gulf beyond, we plan homes to take in both — the city by night, the open water by day.

Designed for the island it will be. Low-rise, walkable, and green, Al Lulu calls for interiors that stay light and natural — pale stone, oak, and glass that keep the water in view.

In from the first phase. For owners and developers moving early, we shape the interiors alongside the architecture, so the finished home arrives whole rather than retrofitted.

What We Design

As Al Lulu takes shape, our scope follows the homes and spaces it will bring:

Waterfront residences: apartments and penthouses planned around the channel and the Gulf, with the skyline as the backdrop.

Island villas and mansions: the low-rise homes the masterplan favours, opened fully to garden, terrace, and sea.

Resort and hospitality interiors: the boutique hotels and beach clubs an island this central will draw.

Terraces and outdoor rooms: the shaded decks and gardens that make a Gulf island livable through the year.

Early-phase collaboration: interiors developed hand in hand with the architects and developers shaping the first releases.

How We Work

Designing early, alongside a rising community, calls for a close and patient process. Ours runs:

Understanding the vision: we begin with the plot, the phase, and what the developer or owner intends for it.

Setting the concept: mood, layout, and photoreal 3D views that fix the direction before the build advances.

Detailing the scheme: full drawings and material schedules, prepared to Abu Dhabi's codes and the island's standards.

Overseeing delivery: our team coordinating the finish through construction, however the island's phasing runs.

Completing the home: the residence dressed and handed over, ready for its first season by the water.

Choose Your Style

Al Lulu's low-rise, natural setting invites a calm, coastal luxury. Our work spans:

Coastal Contemporary: pale stone, oak, and glass framing the Gulf and the skyline.

Island Modern: clean architecture, natural textures, and light-filled open plans.

Mediterranean: warm stone and shaded terraces for a relaxed waterfront home.

Modern Arabic: a majlis and warm materials, the Gulf tradition set against the sea.

Refined Minimalist: restraint and natural materials that let the water lead.

Where We Design

Al Lulu Island. The capital's emerging Corniche-facing island, as its first residences and resorts take shape.

The neighbouring islands. We design across Al Maryah, Reem, and Saadiyat, the islands Al Lulu now joins.

Across the capital. Our work reaches Downtown Abu Dhabi, Yas, and the wider emirate.
