Monumental Sculptures at H Residences Dubai
Produced by SAN Projects for ARM Holding
dubai, uae
SAN Projects presents a series of monumental outdoor sculptures by artist Thomas Canto, commissioned by ARM Holding as part of the private development art program for H Residences, developed by Huna Living. Installed in Dubai and presented for a six month period, the works form an integrated sculptural ensemble responding to architecture, light, and movement within a residential environment.
Produced and delivered by SAN Projects from concept to installation, the project reflects a shared ambition between artist, developer, and producer to introduce contemporary sculptural language into everyday urban experience while meeting the technical demands of permanent outdoor display in extreme climatic conditions.
The sculptures Structural Reflections, Glitched Perspectives, and Gravitational Infinite Inertia created in 2025 are unique large scale works fabricated in mirror polished stainless steel with protective coatings engineered for high sun exposure, heat, and humidity. Each sculpture is self standing and designed specifically for long term outdoor installation in Dubai.
Across the series, reflection is treated not as a surface effect but as a structural principle. Fragmented planes compress multiple viewpoints into singular forms, capturing architecture, sky, and pedestrian movement in constant transformation. As light shifts throughout the day, the sculptures evolve, bending spatial perception and creating moments of visual interruption within the built environment.
Installed in open areas of H Residences, the works engage directly with pedestrian flows and architectural volumes. Rather than functioning as isolated objects, they operate as perceptual devices, anchoring space while simultaneously dissolving it through reflection, movement, and time.
SAN Projects oversaw the full production and realization of the project, including technical development, fabrication coordination, structural engineering, logistics, installation, and on site execution. The collaboration highlights SAN Projects’ expertise in delivering complex large scale public artworks that balance artistic vision with architectural integration and technical rigor.
This project reflects SAN Projects’ ongoing commitment to shaping meaningful art experiences within private developments, working closely with artists and developers to integrate ambitious contemporary artworks into architectural environments.
