Sunshine Bay has been named an “Award Winner” in the “Residential High-Rise Architecture: Ras Al Khaimah” category at the prestigious Arabian Property Awards, marking another milestone for Mercurio Design Lab (MDL). The Arabian Property Awards falls under the umbrella of the International Property Awards (IPA), which celebrates excellence in architecture, design, and real estate development worldwide, recognising projects that demonstrate outstanding achievement across innovation, sustainability, and quality. Sunshine Bay’s recognition places it among a select group of globally acclaimed developments.

Situated on Treasure Island within the Al Marjan archipelago, Sunshine Bay is a 13-storey residential tower overlooking the Persian Gulf. The project draws inspiration from maritime architecture, expressed through flowing, sail-like balconies and a podium reminiscent of a catamaran’s skids. Wooden accents and soft, curvilinear lines further strengthen the project’s nautical identity.

The architectural concept is driven by a highly site-responsive strategy. Each apartment is rotated at a 45-degree angle to maximise sea views across the elongated site, allowing most residences to enjoy uninterrupted vistas of the Gulf. This approach results in a distinctive zigzagging layout refined with softened edges, creating the building’s signature undulating façade.

Envisioned as a lifestyle-focused residential enclave, Sunshine Bay integrates biophilic design principles through extensive landscaping, water features, and open-air communal spaces. The project aligns with MDL’s sustainability goals and is designed to meet high standards under the LEED and Estidama frameworks.

This award highlights MDL’s continued commitment to delivering architecture that is both expressive and environmentally responsive, creating long-term value for residents and the surrounding urban context. Sunshine Bay stands as a landmark residential development within Al Marjan Island and a strong addition to MDL’s growing portfolio of internationally recognised work.

Sunshine Bay has emerged victorious at the 2024 Global Future Design Awards, clinching the Gold Winner award in the “Residential Architecture (Concept)” category. Built along the UAE’s picturesque Ras Al Khaimah coastline, Sunshine Bay is a 13-storey residential project set on an artificial archipelago. Designed to showcase sweeping views of the adjacent Persian Gulf, its balconies, though rendered in concrete, appear to zigzag like the sail of a yacht, capturing the attention of the Awards’ panel of judges.
