October 11, 2022 – Dubai, UAE: The upcoming H Residence development will open in Q1 2023 as part of HUNA, introducing three signature restaurant concepts. The iconic culinary outlets will establish an elevated dining destination in the Jumeirah neighbourhood, alongside other acclaimed facilities.
HUNA, has announced that H Residence will welcome NAC (North Audley Cantine), Cipriani Dolci and Café Kitsuné, forming a dining focal point within the opulent mixed-used, residential community.
NAC, a chic Mediterranean-inspired concept borne from Mayfair, London, will make its UAE debut at H Residence. Cipriani Dolci is backed by the leading four-generation family hospitality group, which started in 1931 with Harry’s Bar in Venice. Meanwhile, the first Café Kitsuné in the UAE continues the trend of serving speciality coffee in iconic locations, growing to a network of 21 venues across the globe.
An overwhelming number of F&amp;B concepts applied for the handful of coveted spaces, at the corner of Al Wasl Road and 19th Street. HUNA, the curator of the bespoke lifestyle behind H Residence, selected the trio of top-tier restaurants to provide an unrivalled dining experience along the palm-lined avenue.
H.E. Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, CEO of ARM Holding, said: “H Residence will put the Al Safa area of Dubai on the culinary map,&nbsp;with high-end real estate and this trio of incredible dining outlets. We’re not just offering amazing food, but an entire lifestyle experience. It’s an ultra-modern aesthetic but it goes much deeper than that, with an ingrained sense of community, in the heart of suburban Dubai.”
David Bellaïche, Co-Founder of BVC Group, said: We are very excited to be opening the first branch of North Audley Cantine, better known as “NAC”, in the UAE and specifically at H Residence. We will be adding a new, relaxed, vibrant and global restaurant experience to the Dubai dining scene. NAC at H Residence will surely make a mark in the F&amp;B industry of the MENA region and will be a beloved neighbourhood bistro.”
Giuseppe Cipriani, CEO of Cipriani and third generation of the family said: “We are excited to bring Cipriani Dolci to this sophisticated Jumeirah community. It is an impressive development, and we are looking forward to offering our service and lifestyle experience,&nbsp;alongside longstanding tradition of Italian cuisine,&nbsp;to locals and visitors alike.”
Gildas Loaëc, Co-Founder of Kitsuné, said: “Dubai&nbsp;has become an extremely dynamic, creative, and modern city that offers a great lifestyle, we are very honored and feel blessed for&nbsp;Café Kitsuné&nbsp;to make its first opening in Dubai here in H Residence and share our brand’s&nbsp;“Art de Vivre”. It’s very important to Café Kitsuné that we offer the best quality coffee, along with consistency&nbsp;and excellent service for our dear customers, creating the best possible experience.”
Housing the trio of diverse dining options, H Residence will feature two arched wings composed of 37 duplexes and apartments. The striking wings connect via a sky bridge that features an ultra-sleek infinity pool, overlooking a leafy plaza and the Dubai skyline beyond.
Visiting diners will have access to stroll in the gently sloped central plaza, lined with tall trees and exquisite landscaping. The project broke ground in Q1 2021, as a collaboration with Dubai’s HUNA and architectural firm Tariq Khayyat Design Partners (tkdp). The building work is led by ASGC Group, which has worked extensively on Bluewaters Island and Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal.
H Residence is set to open in Q1 2023.

June 5, 2022 – Dubai, UAE:&nbsp;In celebration of World Environment Day, A.R.M. Holding has created a thought-provoking infographic, highlighting the energy-saving impact of Spectrum Lab’s innovative building coating. As a partner of the Global Grad Show, which acts as an incubator for sustainable impact initiatives, Spectrum Lab, which is part of A.R.M. Holding’s portfolio, has worked in collaboration to visually represent the key numbers behind the next-generation responsive paint, and its potential environmental impact over time.&nbsp;
 
The overall mission of the start-up is to ensure building exteriors can be 100 percent reflective in summer and 100 percent absorbent in winter. This thermoregulative solution is achieved through a ground-breaking coating (applied similarly to paint), which reversibly changes colour from dark to white at around 25-30°C. Furthermore, the coating’s optical performances are customisable, based on geography, climate, and client preferences and needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
For the end user, this means that approximately 15% of cooling and heating energy is saved per year, lowering costs. In fact, the thermochromic coating leads to a payback period twice shorter than existing solutions at just 2.5 years, which is significantly lower than even solar panels. Consequently, Spectrum Lab’s solution offers a higher return-on-investment and the coating will remain effective for more than eight years after being applied.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, CEO of A.R.M. Holding, said:&nbsp;“Intelligent, innovative, and truly impactful, Spectrum Lab’s next-generation paint product is the future of architectural finishing. This World Environment Day, we’re aware more than ever of the role we must play in safeguarding the future of ecosystem – for our children, and every generation to come. This is the right product, in the right place, and at the right time,”&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Zeynep Tulumen and Raphael Sanchez, co-founders of Spectrum Lab, said: “Today, we observe a trending technology called “cool roof” that is being adopted as a solution for increasing average temperatures of the cities, known as urban heat islands, and the accelerated global warming. However, cool roofs are engineered exclusively for hot climates, while in regions where both cooling and heating are needed, they lead to heating penalties. That is why, we are building a dynamic technology which is able to adapt itself passively to the outdoor conditions for creating smarter cities that are energy and climate resilient.”&nbsp;
&nbsp;
 
Spectrum Lab developed the breakthrough architectural coating solution as an affiliate project of the Global Grad Show, a year-round programme for university graduates from across the world working on social impact innovation. World Environment Day is celebrated annually on 5 June and is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of the environment.&nbsp;

Dubai, UAE: April 15, 2022 –&nbsp;A.R.M. Holding has announced a donation of AED2 million to the 1 Billion Meals initiative. Organized by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), the campaign provides food support to the underprivileged and the undernourished in 50 countries around the world, especially vulnerable groups such as children, refugees, displaced persons and those affected by disasters and crises.
The 1 Billion Meals&nbsp; initiative is providing direct access to food supplies to some of the most disadvantaged communities around the world, as is doing so in coordination with the United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP), the Food Banking Regional Network (FBRN), the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment (MBRCH), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UAE Food Bank, as well as a number of charity and humanitarian organizations.
compassion meets action
Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, Chief Executive Officer at A.R.M. Holding:&nbsp;“A difficult journey begins with one step –&nbsp;and the pursuit of a better life starts with basic nourishment. It is our honour and privilege to contribute&nbsp;to&nbsp;the 1 Billion Meals initiative, along with our thanks to Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI). This is where compassion meets action, and lives are subsequently changed forever. There is immense need all around us, and I profoundly believe that the spirit of generosity is greater.

March 9, 2022 – Dubai, UAE:&nbsp;The second edition of the A.R.M. Holding Children’s Programme is taking place at Art Dubai, bringing together artists and designers to collaborate with local schools through bespoke workshops. From March 11–13, a range of artist-led workshops are available for children aged 5-17, within a purpose-built space at Madinat Jumeirah.&nbsp;&nbsp;
“The A.R.M. Holding Children’s Programme reflects our commitment to invest in, and nurture, the next generation. Schools often put an emphasis on STEM subjects, and we also want this current generation of students to excel with their creative skills and sense of expression” explained&nbsp;Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, CEO of A.R.M. Holding.&nbsp;
“We are facilitating a number of bespoke, artist-led workshops for the benefit of local schools and thousands of young people. This provides children with opportunities to grow and develop their creative thinking and imagination, introducing them to a wide range of art and design practices,” he added.&nbsp;
Cyrus Kabiru, a Nairobi-based, self-taught artist and sculptor known for his elaborate spectacles known as ‘C-Stunners’, commented: “Every young person can become an artist. We simply need to show them that ‘art’ isn’t always what they think it is. It can be playful, exciting, different and whatever they want it to be.”&nbsp;
Devising the programme’s theme, curating the children’s activities and designing the workshop décor, Cyrus Kabiru will work with young artists to retrieve and repurpose everyday materials from their homes and schools, and transform them into works of art. The concept is designed to alter our perspectives on everyday objects and our wider surroundings.&nbsp;
The programme will feature drop-in sessions as well as workshops that can be pre-registered for. To accommodate children of differing ages and educational levels, the activities will be adapted and prepared in three formats to suit the following age groups: ages 5-7, ages 8-12 and ages 13-17. The Programme will also incorporate a competition, rewarding the children for the best work that is produced during the workshops. Immersive workshops curated by the artist will take place at the Art Dubai Fair.&nbsp;
For 2022, the programme will expand through in-classroom workshops taking place after the fair in March. UAE schools are invited to provide opportunities for children to grow and develop their interest and understanding of the arts. The activities will be available to 5,000 children across 80 schools – more than doubling the number of participants in 2021.&nbsp;
A.R.M. Holding is a private investment firm and a multi-focused economic enabler investing in partnerships that reinforce Dubai’s position as the global capital of culture and innovation. It collaborates to that end with Art Dubai on a number of initiatives that foster young talent and creativity in the emirate.&nbsp;
In addition to the Children’s Programme, The A.R.M. Holding Art Collection is a unique and singular collection and a leader in the landscape of corporate art collecting in the UAE. Last year, a number of works from the A.R.M. Holding Art Collection were lent into the Dubai Collection, making A.R.M. Holding the first corporate Patron of the initiative.&nbsp;
Featuring some of the most prominent names in Middle Eastern and international contemporary art, the collection highlights the company’s ethos of building communities as well as being an enabler of multicultural dialogue and innovation. It is key element within the company’s wider commitment to supporting art and culture in the UAE.&nbsp;

Dubai, 7 November 2021:&nbsp;Dubai’s coveted Al Wasl Road is set to welcome H Residence, a luxury mixed-use development, announced by A.R.M. Holding. The ultra-stylish property will feature a variety of retail units, as well as two arched wings of 37 duplexes and apartments. The wings will connect via a sky bridge, boasting an infinity pool that overlooks both a stylish plaza and Dubai skyline.
The sprawling 30-metre bridge will host the building’s major recreation area, exclusively for residents, above a lush garden area. The central plaza – the heart of H Residence – is gently sloped with tall trees and elegantly shaped hedges. It will serve as a communal area for the enjoyment of residents and visitors from the surrounding Al Wasl community.
A.R.M. Holding unveiled further plans for H Residence when the project broke ground earlier this year. The Dubai-based private investment company and multi-focused economic enabler has partnered with leading architecture and design firm, Tariq Khayyat Design Partners (tkdp) to deliver the strikingly fresh concept in the UAE.
Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, CEO of A.R.M. Holding,&nbsp;said: “As an enterprise focused on enabling prosperity, A.R.M. Holding is vested in purposeful developments that invigorate the city while fostering community ties. H Residence demonstrates a true understanding of Dubai, having sourced its design and function from the needs of the emirate’s diverse communities.”
Located in the heart of Jumeirah, the two-storey development blends effortlessly with the surrounding low-rise communities of Al Wasl, while transcending Dubai’s mixed-use offerings thanks to its unique urban aesthetic.
The design of H residence incorporates sustainability elements within the architectural layout. The façade is fitted with vertical louvres (angled slats), giving the building its signature look, while creating temperature-controlled, shaded spaces that overlook the central plaza and surroundings with complete privacy.
“The sloped plaza, arched wings and the sky bridge seamlessly interact to add a new architectural layer to Dubai’s urban fabric,” said&nbsp;Tariq Khayyat, founder of tkdp and lead architect of H Residence.
H Residence provides a meaningful encounter between architecture, end-user and surroundings, creating a unique and memorable living experience. It re-examines the concept of community, creating a cosmopolitan village that is global in look and feel, yet local in experience and character.
The development of H Residence is being led and executed by ASGC Group, a key player and leader in the UAE’s construction industry.
“We are delighted to be working with A.R.M. Holding and all affiliated stakeholders on the development of this unique top-quality addition to Dubai’s urban landscape, which will undoubtedly deliver a world-class experience to future tenants”, said&nbsp;Sameh Fam, Managing Director of ASGC Group.
H residence is due to open in Q1 2023.

The inaugural edition of the A.R.M. Holding Children’s Programme saw successful completion with 1,800 students participating from 70 schools across the country. The nation-wide, week-long “Noom Project” was developed by design duo Studio Sain and invited children to create an alternative living habitat on a fictional version of the moon.
The “Noom Project” classroom-based art workshops offered students a temporary opportunity to explore how a new society might be constructed, and encouraged them to deconstruct boundaries in order to generate imaginary, intuitive and innovative objects. Alongside the UAE’s space mission to Mars and sending the first Emirati into space, the workshop was conceptualized to test ideas around the central question, “How would you construct a sustainable community in outer space?”
The programme garnered exceptional feedback from both teachers and pupils, praising the collaborative nature and creative approach of the programme.

The recently launched A.R.M. Holding Art Collection brings together pieces from a wide range of geographies, media, and subject matter, while featuring works by Middle Eastern as well as international artists from established and emerging art hubs.
“It is our distinct pleasure to see our own new corporate collection accepted into Dubai Collection. History is best told through art, and we see no better way of keeping record of Dubai’s history than through this most noble medium of human expression,” said Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, CEO of A.R.M. Holding.
