Elemental 22by Elemental Developments

Elemental 22 is a contemporary apartment development in Al Satwa, Dubai, created by Elemental Developments with a design language that brings together modern metallic finishes, timber details and planted elements. The façade uses aluminium cladding with a titanium-style finish, complemented by wooden accents and vertical landscaping. This combination gives the building a distinctive visual identity while softening the architecture through greenery and a stronger connection with outdoor space.

The building is arranged around a ground level, a multi-level podium, residential floors and rooftop leisure areas. One- and two-bedroom apartments form the residence mix, with layouts designed to make effective use of natural light and open terraces. Travertine finishes add texture and warmth to the interiors, while the broader planning encourages a fluid relationship between indoor living areas and exterior space.

The amenity programme is shaped around wellness, work, relaxation and social use. Residents have access to a gym and Pilates studio, along with a sauna and lounge areas that support quieter routines. A rooftop swimming pool and pool deck provide an outdoor leisure focus, while a café and cinema room introduce places for informal meetings, entertainment and everyday social life. A dedicated children’s play room adds a family-oriented element to the shared facilities.

Elemental 22’s design also gives the rooftop an important role in the residential experience. The elevated leisure spaces create another layer beyond the apartments themselves, allowing residents to move between fitness, relaxation and social settings without leaving the development. Vertical planting and timber accents reinforce the project’s nature-oriented aesthetic, balancing the stronger metallic character of the façade.

Al Satwa gives Elemental 22 a central Dubai setting with access to the wider city network. The project’s broader location context references major Dubai destinations including Dubai Mall, Burj Al Arab, Mall of the Emirates and Dubai International Airport. Together, these landmarks place the development within the wider Dubai context and reinforce its connection to major city destinations.

Beyond the core amenity list, the wider project concept includes spaces for focused work and recovery. A coworking environment adds a practical setting for residents who work from home or need a quieter place outside the apartment, while wellness areas extend beyond exercise into recovery and relaxation. This mix of uses helps the building function as more than a collection of homes, giving residents several settings for different parts of the day.

Natural light and terrace access are recurring parts of the residence design. The apartments are intended to feel open and connected to the exterior, while travertine surfaces and warmer timber elements keep the interiors from feeling overly metallic or austere. The contrast between titanium-inspired cladding on the outside and softer materials within gives Elemental 22 a coherent design story from façade to home.

Overall, Elemental 22 combines one- and two-bedroom apartment living with a design-led façade, tactile interiors, open terraces and a broad lifestyle amenity collection. Its identity is built around the contrast between contemporary architecture and greenery, creating a residential environment in Al Satwa that supports wellness, social connection and modern urban routines.
