Maison Margiela Expands Design and Architectural Vision with Launch of Maison Margiela Residences in Dubai

October 12, 2026

Maison Margiela announces Maison Margiela Residences, its first residential real estate project, developed in partnership with Alta Real Estate Development and designed by Italian architect Carlo Colombo in collaboration with the Maison Margiela architecture team.


Located on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, the exclusive collection of 25 bespoke residences translates the House’s signature codes of deconstruction, trompe-l’œil and transformation into a distinctive vision of contemporary luxury living, where architectural mastery meets bespoke interiors and furniture design. Since its inception, Maison Margiela has utilised space and furniture as a medium to convey its creativity by continuously exploring interiors and furniture design - from immersive set designs and installations over the years, to the house’s hand in the design of La Maison Champs Élysées hotel interior in Paris in 2011, to the house’s line of objects, including the iconic bottle lamps, white cushions, dolls and feather pens.

 

The houses play with materiality and technique is also expressed in the Residences, materialised in Travertine furnishings designed in the memory of classic objects, the use of the Maison’s décortiqué technique, and resin-filled indentations in optical white: details that echo Margiela’s exploration. Amenities are an extension of the Maison’s philosophy, offering residents an environment of elegance, discretion, and intuitive comfort. These offerings include an art gallery, curated library, fitness studios, infinity pool, gym, spa and Margiela Café.

 

 

“It has been thrilling to bring together the codes of more than 30 years of history of an iconic Maison, led by the greatest fashion couturiers like Martin Margiela, John Galliano and now Glenn Martens. It has been very inspiring to create this first project, and I hope it marks the beginning of many more to come, aiming to define the unmistakable style of a one-of-a-kind fashion house.”

Renzo Rosso, Chairman of OTB Group

 



The launch represents more than a single project; it is part of a wider brand expansion in the region. Coinciding with the opening of the Maison’s new boutique and Margiela Café at Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, and with sights set on future developments. The Residences also signal the evolution of Maison Margiela into new spaces that unite fashion, architecture, and lifestyle.


 

“The Alta and Maison Margiela Residences represent a bold vision of luxury and lifestyle innovation. As the first collaboration of its kind globally, this project blends iconic design with bespoke experiences, redefining luxury living in Dubai. We are excited to unveil this landmark in an extraordinary location soon.”

Abdulla Al Tayer, Managing Director of Alta Real Estate Development
