An Intimate Coastal Community by Origami

SOMA Residences by Origami is a design-led coastal residential development located at Dubai Islands. Inspired by Mediterranean living, the project introduces an intimate low-rise collection of 44 residences shaped around sunlight, open spaces, wellness, and relaxed waterfront living. With architecture that follows the coastline, generous balconies, three-metre ceilings, and interiors by XBD Collective, SOMA Residences offers a warmer and more considered way to experience contemporary Dubai life.

Where the Mediterranean Meets Dubai

SOMA Residences introduces a different pace of living at Dubai Islands, where the focus shifts from the skyline to the coastline. The project brings together design-led homes, generous outdoor spaces, and a lifestyle shaped by openness, connection, and ease. It is designed for residents who want mornings by the water, afternoons outdoors, and evenings that feel calm, social, and unhurried.

The development follows Origami’s belief that the spaces we live in shape how we feel. SOMA is enrolled to pursue WELL Gold Certification, reflecting a commitment to wellbeing through light, air, comfort, movement, and thoughtful design. The result is a residential address that feels relaxed, human, and deeply connected to its coastal setting.

Set within an intimate low-rise environment, SOMA offers a boutique scale rarely found in Dubai. With only 44 residences, it creates a sense of privacy, belonging, and community while keeping residents close to marinas, beaches, golf courses, cafés, retail, and major city destinations.

A Low-Rise Coastal Design

The architecture of SOMA is shaped by its setting. Its low-rise silhouette follows the coastline rather than competing with it, while soft sculptural forms, sun-bleached stone, sand tones, and weathered timber create a warm Mediterranean character. Every home includes generous balconies, and the rooftop transforms the highest point of the building into its most social space.

Premium Amenities at SOMA Residences

Interiors Designed by XBD Collective

The interiors at SOMA Residences are designed by XBD Collective and draw inspiration from contemporary European living. Oak tones, tactile stone, soft palettes, and restrained detailing create homes that feel effortless rather than overdesigned.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing and expansive balconies bring the horizon into daily life, while three-metre ceilings give each home a generous sense of space. Acoustic glazing helps keep the city outside, creating calm interiors where the focus remains on light, comfort, and coastal views.

The homes include 1-bedroom residences, 2-bedroom residences, and duplex residences with open-plan living areas, warm kitchens, integrated Bosch appliances, stone textures, fitted joinery, and refined bathrooms with fittings by Geberit, Grohe, and Zucchetti.

Why SOMA Residences Stands Out

SOMA Residences stands out for its rare combination of boutique scale, coastal location, design-led architecture, wellness planning, and strong connectivity. Dubai Islands offers 21 kilometres of pristine beaches, nine marinas, 87 resorts and hotels, and two golf courses, creating a powerful lifestyle setting for both residents and investors.

With only 44 residences, interiors by XBD Collective, WELL Gold enrolment, rooftop social spaces, and a full lifestyle amenity level, SOMA offers a more intimate and human way to live in Dubai Islands. It is designed for buyers who want the feeling of a coastal retreat without leaving the city behind.
