Where hospitality meets business: One Offices at One Za'abeel

One Za'abeel sought to create premium serviced offices across two floors in their iconic development, spanning approximately 38,000 sqft. Their vision focused on user experience with hotel-design interiors that would stand out in the market along with versatile facilities to cater to modern business needs. As an existing client of JLL, they sought our Project & Development Services team’s expertise in design solutions.

Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed One & Only Hotel in One Za’abeel, our team crafted a concept that blends local characteristics with contemporary luxury. The design prioritises the creation of an environment that redefines traditional workspaces. It features carefully curated areas that are multifunctional, with various sizes and configurations to meet different organisational needs and work styles. This includes manager cabins, open-plan areas, boardrooms, meeting rooms, library, focus rooms and communal spaces, fitted out with high-end finishes, ergonomic furniture, and customisable lighting. Sustainability was prioritised through the use of natural materials, maximised daylight, and energy-efficient systems.

The reception area of One Offices welcomes visitors with a majestic staircase that evokes Dubai’s sunset sky. A striking sculptural chandelier complements this centrepiece, setting the tone for luxury and innovation.

Throughout the office, a carefully selected neutral color palette is complemented by warm, timeless marble flooring. Accented rugs add warmth and texture, their patterns subtly evoking the meeting point of desert and sea—a nod to the country’s unique geography. This thoughtful design creates a serene and inviting atmosphere that encourages both focus and creativity.

This is not just a workplace; it is a space where individuals can thrive. It offers an exceptional experience—a harmonious blend of natural elements and modern design where luxury and functionality coexist. Every detail is meticulously considered to create an environment that inspires, comforts, and elevates.

JLL's proactive approach navigated complex design requirements and stakeholder expectations throughout the project. By implementing innovative solutions and managing resources efficiently, our team delivered high-quality finishes while successfully preventing an estimated15% budget overrun, ultimately upholding our commitment to maximising results for our clients.

The resulting innovative space reimagines urban work environments, positioning One Za'abeel at the forefront of Dubai's premium office market and setting a new standard for serviced offices in the region.
