The Symphony by Imtiaz

The Symphony by Imtiaz is a residential and mixed-use development in Meydan Horizon, Dubai, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The project brings together private residences, office space and retail within a single architectural scheme, giving it a broader role within the emerging Meydan Horizon district.

The building’s design draws on traditional Emirati craftsmanship, with references to Al Sadu weaving and Talli embroidery informing the concept of its sculptural façade. Rather than treating these references as decoration, the architecture translates their patterns and interwoven forms into the building’s external expression. The result is a contemporary interpretation of local craft, expressed through the tower’s distinctive geometry.

The residential collection includes one- to four-bedroom apartments, as well as four-bedroom duplexes. The range offers different configurations within the same development, from more compact homes to larger residences arranged over two levels. The project also incorporates dedicated office and retail components, creating a mix of residential and commercial uses within the building.

The residential component occupies the upper floors, with apartments arranged from the 10th to the 34th floor and a dedicated amenities level on the ninth. The collection includes Master 1-Bedroom Suites, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, as well as four-bedroom duplexes. Offices are located on the lower floors, while retail space forms part of the podium. Separate access points and lift banks serve the residential and commercial areas, providing separation between the building’s different uses.

Amenities are distributed across indoor and outdoor spaces, with facilities for fitness, leisure and social use. These include adult and children’s pools, a gym, yoga and Pilates areas, sauna and steam rooms, a clubhouse, library, billiards, workstations and executive lounges. Outdoor areas include landscaped terraces, dining and barbecue spaces, children’s play areas, viewing decks and a fire pit lounge.

Set within Meydan Horizon, The Symphony forms part of a developing district in the wider Meydan area. Its location provides access to key parts of central Dubai, including Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and Dubai Design District, while Al Khail Road and Al Ain Road connect the neighbourhood with the wider city.

The project brings together a distinctive architectural identity, a varied residential collection and a mix of private and commercial spaces. Its defining feature is the collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, with the design drawing on Emirati craft traditions while taking a contemporary approach to the form of a mixed-use tower.
