LUME Residences Officially Launched: A Landmark in Contemporary Living at the Heart of JVC
LWK + PARTNERS is proud to celebrate the official launch of LUME Residences, a signature residential development in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) by S&S Developments . The unveiling took place on 12 March 2025 at The Lawn, Emirates Golf Club, drawing a vibrant crowd of over 2,000 investors and real estate professionals from across the UAE.
Representing LWK + PARTNERS at the event were key members of the project team, including Kourosh Salehi (Global Design Principal), Michael Naguib (Head of Digital Design | Associate Architect), Andreja Marolt (Director Business Development MENA), Mohamed Omar (Senior Landscape Architect | Urbanist), Laura Mattar (Project Manager), who joined the developers and partners on site to mark the occasion and showcase the design intent behind the project.
Design-Led Urban Living
LUME Residences offers a G+4P+14-storey structure comprising 178 residences including studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments designed around the principles of elegance, efficiency, and wellness. With generous layouts of up to 1,318 sq. ft., LUME integrates modern urban deco elements with contextual warmth and lifestyle-driven amenities.
As the architectural lead, LWK + PARTNERS brought forward a vision of illuminated living through:
-
A terracotta-toned façade that echoes the earthy tones of its surroundings
-
Amenity-rich podiums featuring a rooftop padel court, fitness decks, and shaded lounges
-
Design details focused on natural light, space optimization, and community vibrancy
Speaking at the launch, Kourosh Salehi shared:
“LUME is more than a building — it’s an experience. Our goal was to create an urban sanctuary that resonates with the rhythm of JVC while offering residents clarity, character, and comfort.”
A Vision in Motion
Following the overwhelming success of Rise Residences in late 2023, LUME is the second collaboration between S&S Developments and Evolutions, and is already seen as a flagship development that will reshape expectations for mid-rise living in Dubai.
Ghaleb Samara, Founder & Partner at S&S Developments, described the project as:
“A thoughtfully designed address where architectural elegance meets lifestyle convenience — the result of a world-class team’s dedication to excellence.”
Scheduled for completion in June 2027, LUME appeals to both end-users and investors seeking long-term value in one of Dubai’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
