AlThuraya Island
Celebrating Extensive Media Coverage for a Masterpiece of Luxury Island Living
At XBD Collective, we take immense pride in seeing our projects come to life – not only in physical form but also in the recognition they receive from the industry and media. AlThuraya Island, a luxurious development nestled within AJMAL MAKAN City at the Sharjah Waterfront, has been met with resounding applause from some of the most influential publications in the architecture and design fields. This coverage reflects our commitment to innovative design and sustainable development, further solidifying our role as leaders in architectural and interior design excellence. We had shared two different press releases, one with a focus on the architectural master plan services and architecture, the other one about our vision for the interiors of the different villas.
A Unified Vision for AlThuraya Island
AlThuraya Island was designed as a harmonious blend of thoughtful urban planning, architectural innovation, and elegant interior design. Our vision has been to offer residents an unmatched living experience that celebrates the natural beauty of the island. From the master plan to the bespoke interiors, every element has been crafted to cultivate a serene island lifestyle, merging luxury with a commitment to sustainability.
The project has been extensively covered across major platforms, including CW Property, Love That Design, Commercial Interior Design, Identity, Design Middle East, and Gulf Construction, each highlighting various facets of this ambitious development.
