1 Bedroom Apartment in Studio One, Dubai Marina

Sometimes you just walk in and something about the place makes you want to slow down for a second. That happens with this one bedroom apartment in Studio One at Dubai Marina. It is got that modern energy that gets you dreaming a little about life in the city especially if you are the sort of person who wants things simple but also a little bit special. Right as you enter you notice the light right away. The big glass doors lead out to a terrace that actually stretches the whole front of the apartment. It is not just for show either. I stood in the living room and you can see straight out to the skyline with a bit of garden below which you do not always find in Dubai Marina. There is a real sense of openness which is something you start to appreciate the more time you spend inside.

What I really like here is how everything has a double use. The living room is open plan so you can wind things down and stream your favourite show but it is also big enough and has a layout where your guests could actually stay over and not just feel like they are camping out on a couch. The kitchen feels like someone actually designed it for the way we live. It is part of the main area but a little tucked aside so your breakfast mess is not staring at you all day. And the finish is just clean and modern nothing fussy at all. You might step out to the terrace to have your coffee in the morning and honestly sometimes you will probably lose track of time just watching the clouds roll past or catching little birds hopping around on the railings.

You are right in the heart of Dubai Marina so life outside is always full of energy. You will find yourself taking evening walks down by the water or maybe wandering over to Dubai Marina Mall if you need to pick up something quick. The Beach at JBR is not far and sometimes you see neighbours heading out with towels stacked under their arms just after work. You get the usual conveniences of the Marina so taxis are always around and the coffee shop is never far. Really it is one of those places where you do not just live you get to feel like part of a city that is always moving but somehow you still get private moments to yourself.

Studio One itself stands out a bit because it is more than just an apartment tower. Downstairs there is this big multi level podium where you end up spending a lot more time than you expect. Residents hang out on the pool deck a lot which really starts to feel like its own small community by the second or third weekend. The fitness centre actually has all the machines you need but it does not feel intimidating somehow. You will bump into the same faces in the lounge areas or maybe find yourself saying hi to someone on your way to the steam room. Evenings sometimes feel quiet even with the city right outside. Something about the building's design keeps it feeling peaceful.

You get everything you need for day to day. There are shops along the ground floor for those last minute groceries or if you are like me maybe a lazy takeaway night once in a while. And if you want a proper meal out there are enough spots nearby that you will never get bored. Getting around is easy thanks to the Marina's transport links and honestly taxis show up in three minutes almost every single time.

To me this apartment is ideal for people who like being in the thick of things but still want to come home to something peaceful. Maybe you work in Media City or DIFC or you are someone who just values your own space once the workday is done. There are not many places that pull off simple and clever at the same time in Dubai Marina but Studio One definitely does.

Really the best way to know if it gives you that same feeling as it did for me is to come see it.
