Through expert fire engineering and advisory services, Design Confidence ensured that United Heights achieves uncompromising safety, supporting Ellington’s vision of secure, high-quality urban living.
United Heights is a contemporary residential development by Ellington, designed to elevate the standard of modern urban living in Dubai. Located in a vibrant district, the project combines sleek architectural design with high-end amenities, offering residents a sophisticated lifestyle defined by quality, comfort, and safety.
The high-rise tower features a curated mix of residential units, wellness-focused facilities, and sustainable design elements that ensure long-term value for both owners and tenants.
Design Confidence has played a vital role in shaping the safety strategy of United Heights by delivering end-to-end fire and life safety consultancy. Their involvement spans fire risk assessments, strategy development, smoke control system design, and evacuation planning, all tailored to the building's unique architecture and operational vision.
Working in close coordination with the architects, engineers, and project managers, the Design Confidence team ensured full compliance with Dubai Civil Defence codes and international standards. Their work integrates active and passive fire protection systems-such as suppression, detection, and alarm integration—into the building's core infrastructure, enhancing both safety and resilience.
By applying advanced fire modelling techniques and scenario-based planning, Design Confidence helped develop solutions that not only protect lives but also preserve the integrity and design intent of the project. Their contribution reinforces United Heights as a benchmark in secure, future-ready residential developments, where residents can enjoy peace of mind, without compromise.
