FAKHRUDDIN PROPERTIES TO DELIVER NEXT-GENERATION WELLNESS TO DUBAI ISLANDS WITH LAUNCH OF TREPPAN SERENIQUE RESIDENCES
Leading sustainability and low carbon footprint lifestyle developer Fakhruddin Properties officially launched its flagship Dubai Islands project – Treppan Serenique Residences – at a gala VIP event held at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai on 13th November.
The dual tower Treppan Living branded project will occupy prime waterfront real estate on Island A of the sought-after five-island community and offers a premium resort lifestyle with a curated collection of 164 exquisite two- and three-bedroom apartments, ranging from 980 to 1,902 square feet, and offering panoramic sea, golf course, or island views.
A total of 12 residential floors and two podium floors will be complemented by over 50 specially selected amenities, including an oxygen-rich bamboo park and biohacking lab featuring a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, cryotherapy, red light therapy, and sensory deprivation pods. Residents also have access to a rooftop infinity pool, indoor and outdoor gyms, rock climbing walk, state-of-the-art meditation pods, koi pond, dedicated kids’ leisure facilities, and are a mere 90 seconds walk from the island’s white sand beaches.
Commenting on the launch, Yousuf Fakhruddin, CEO and Managing Partner of Fakhruddin Properties, said: “Treppan Serenique Residences is an exclusive wellness-forward sanctuary where luxury resort inspiration is fused with pioneering smart home and AI technologies, underpinned by our proven track record of sustainability-driven residential real estate design, development and delivery.
“Treppan Serenique Residences will be the first – and only – premium residential destination to provide complimentary biohacking amenities as standard. In a June 2025 report, the Global Wellness Institute noted that real estate has long been the fastest-growing sector in the wellness economy, with an estimated FY 2024 market value of US$548.4 billion. This represents approximately 3.3% of global annual construction output, with a CAGR of 19.5% for the period 2019-2024, and the market is forecasted to grow exponentially, to hit US$1,114 billion by 2029.”
“Residents will be able to seamlessly integrate transformative clinically proven therapies into their daily routine with treatments designed to enhance recovery, boost energy, and improve sleep quality.Together, with the full raft of complementary on-property amenities, this is the resort lifestyle experience elevated to a standard not seen before in the UAE,” he added.
Fakhruddin Properties continues to lead the market in groundbreaking sustainability initiatives, with its latest Treppan Living project delivering on multiple fronts, including waste management, with 90% of all property waste recycled using the company’s proprietary waste segregation system.
In addition, Treppan Serenique residents will have hydrogenated, ionised, organically mineralised alkaline drinking water on tap, which removes the need for plastic bottled water, drastically reducing plastic waste and emissions tied to bottled water logistics as part of the group’s commitment to eliminating single-use plastics. The residences will also house a Refill Station where everyday household products such as detergents, hand wash, and body wash will be available at a subsidised cost.
Meanwhile, NASA-grade technology will deliver clean air via an Airocide air purifier, supported by Smart Air Handling Unit (SAHU) technology that guarantees the purest indoor air quality while consuming less energy.
As in all Fakhruddin projects, energy efficiency is a key focus with a targeted 30% reduction in energy consumption achievable thanks to AI-enabled smart home technology, energy efficient electronic applications, and SAHU implementation, which reduces the load on the overall HVAC system by cutting humidity and dust congestion in the ducts.
Community residents will also be able to meet, relax and socialise in the Greenhouse Café, a radiant cooling system-controlled dining destination that will be home to an on-site hydroponics system ensuring a supply of fresh leafy greens. The radiant cooling system is designed to regulate room temperature while simultaneously reducing energy consumption by 10-15% and supporting opportunity for efficient water recycling.
“Treppan Living is a lifestyle infrastructure ecosystem that anchors Fakhruddin Properties’ growing portfolio of high-profile, sustainable, wellness-focused lifestyle projects. Since inception in 2023, Treppan Living has been integral to our commitment to create low carbon communities that meet the increasingly exacting demands of a global client base of health and eco-conscious investors. Treppan Serenique Residences marks our second Dubai Islands community, with other projects located in Jumeirah Village Circle and Jumeirah Village Triangle. Our first Dubai Islands project, Hatimi Residences by Treppan Living has seen a per-square-foot price appreciation of approximately 103% since its launch three years ago,” said CEO, Yousuf Fakhruddin.
To encourage community-wide engagement, residents are invited to join the Treppan Living rewards programme – asimple, practical points-based initiative that rewards sustainable involvement, whether it’s recycling of household waste and other items, using the refill stations, or signing up for eco-friendly services, as well as addressing personal wellness by taking yoga classes, using hydroponics-produced vegetables, attending community events, etc.
Points are translated into tier status, which allow priority access to certain amenities, community recognition, and other value-led benefits. Treppan Coins, meanwhile, can be earned and redeemed for various community, health and sustainability benefits via the Treppan Living app.
A highly decorated pioneer in the sustainability development space in the UAE, with 11 awards recognising eco-friendly innovations implemented across various projects, and a total of 18 accolades spanning sustainability, innovation, technology, brand, leadership and design, Fakhruddin Properties continues to ‘walk the talk’ for each new project – from drawing board to physical reality – with the delivery of liveable, environmentally-conscious developments that align with Dubai and the UAE Government’s long-term sustainability vision.

THE RETURN OF BROWN: A NEW NEUTRAL FOR INTERIORS WITH MINOTTI
Grounded in nature and materiality, brown is returning to interiors as a calming, contemporary neutral.
Brown is re-emerging as one of the defining tones of contemporary interiors. Once associated with the nostalgic interiors of the 1970s, the colour is now being reinterpreted through a more refined lens, introducing depth and material richness to modern living spaces. After several years dominated by pale neutrals and cool greys, designers are increasingly introducing a spectrum of warm brown tones – from deeper shades such as espresso and cocoa to softer hues including caramel, tan and walnut – bringing greater character and contrast to current interior palettes.
Used thoughtfully, brown acts as a versatile neutral within contemporary spaces, adding structure while softening lighter schemes. Layering deeper chocolate tones with caramel or tan shades introduces subtle depth, while softer tones such as off-white or cream keep the composition light and balanced. Accents in bronze or brushed metals, alongside rich woods and textured fabrics, further enhance the layered quality of the palette.
Reflecting this shift, Minotti explores these richer tones across its latest collections. At the Minotti Dubai flagship store in Jumeirah, sculptural seating and refined finishes illustrate how brown tones can shape contemporary interiors.

Sculptural Foundations: Bézier seating system and coffee table
Statement seating is one of the most effective ways to introduce brown into a space. TheBézier seating system by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27 embodies this approach through its fluid, organic silhouette and generous proportions. Inspired by the parametric curves developed by French engineer Pierre Bézier, the sofa’s rounded volumes create a sculptural presence that feels both architectural and inviting.
Upholstered in warm tones, the design anchors the living area while maintaining visual softness. Its modular configuration expands into island-like compositions that encourage relaxed gathering and conversation. Paired with the Bézier coffee table, featuring a Canaletto walnut top in light brown veneer, the composition highlights how brown can extend through both upholstery and natural materials.

Layered Upholstery: Coupé and Libra
Brown tones are equally effective when introduced through layered seating arrangements. The Coupé seating system by Giampiero Tagliaferri reinterprets the aesthetic language of 1960s and 1970s interiors through a contemporary lens. Its overlapping rounded volumes and tone-on-tone stitching emphasise softness and craftsmanship while maintaining the understated elegance characteristic of Minotti.
Also designed by Giampiero Tagliaferri, the Libra armchair introduces a sculptural accent. Inspired by seventies aesthetics, the design is composed of overlapping padded volumes upholstered in leather or fabric, creating a balanced interplay between seat, backrest and headrest.

Architectural Balance: Riley seating system, Andrée and Stage coffee tables
Where softer silhouettes introduce warmth, more architectural pieces bring structure and contrast. The Riley seating system by Hannes Peer reflects this balance through its geometric form and precise detailing, with vertical quilting adding rhythm to the upholstery.
Alongside the seating, the Andrée coffee table, also designed by Hannes Peer, introduces a decorative counterpoint. Inspired by the facades of 1970s Milanese architecture, the design pairs glazed ceramic surfaces with chrome-plated brass trims, adding texture and reflective depth.

The Stage side table further extends the palette through wood and metal finishes, with tops available in Canaletto walnut-stained light brown or glossy Moka lacquer.
A Contemporary Neutral
Far from being a passing trend, brown’s return reflects a broader shift toward interiors that prioritise depth, materiality and balance. When layered thoughtfully through furniture, finishes and textures, the colour introduces a quiet sophistication that feels both timeless and relevant today.
