Through careful planning and performance-based engineering, Design Confidence helped elevate fire safety standards in one of Dubai’s most iconic branded developments.
Damac Towers by Paramount is a landmark development in Downtown Dubai that blends cinematic flair with luxurious living. The project comprises two high-rise towers featuring premium serviced residences and hotel spaces, all designed to reflect the glamour and storytelling of the Paramount brand. With its bold architecture, signature interiors, and strategic location, the development aims to redefine urban hospitality in Dubai.
Design Confidence played a critical role in ensuring the safety and compliance of the development, delivering expert fire and life safety consultancy tailored to the project’s high-profile nature. The firm’s scope included detailed fire risk assessments, strategic planning, and performance-based design solutions, ensuring that the towers met both local UAE codes and international safety standards.
The engineering team worked closely with architects, contractors, and regulatory authorities to optimise the layout for safe egress, integrate fire alarm and suppression systems, and align fire safety measures with the operational needs of the hotel and residential components. Their approach balanced safety, comfort, and aesthetic integrity—ensuring the safety infrastructure did not compromise the design intent.
From escape route planning to system integration and emergency readiness, Design Confidence’s contribution was instrumental in shaping a secure and resilient environment within a development that stands as a symbol of luxury and innovation.
