A day at home in Renaatus Javaahiru

Renaatus describes Javaahiru room by room, which makes it easier than usual to picture a day there. This is that day, drawn from the developer's own description of the flats and the gym. No Javaahiru home has yet been let through Binga, so it is the day the building is designed for, not one the desk has watched.

Morning

The day begins in the bedroom the developer describes as a quiet retreat for restful nights. Then the kitchen, which Renaatus calls modern and fully equipped, with ample counter space and storage: room to make a proper breakfast rather than assemble one on a corner of worktop.

Before work, the gym downstairs. The developer describes it as well equipped, with modern machines and an open layout. Having one in the building is what turns an intention to exercise into a habit, because there is no journey to talk yourself out of.

Day

Javaahiru is in Hulhumalé, the planned island across the bridge from Malé, with wider streets, parks and the beach. The desk has not confirmed the building's exact position, so it will not say what is at the end of the road. Anyone who commutes to Malé should ask the concierge to time the journey from this address before signing.

Evening

The living room is where the developer puts its emphasis: spacious, designed for family time and for entertaining, with large windows that bring in natural light. In the evening that means a room big enough for a table of guests, and, earlier, one that stays bright into the late afternoon.

Who it suits

A building described through its living room and kitchen suits people who cook and who have people round: families, couples who entertain, anyone who wants a real kitchen rather than a kitchenette. With 111 homes in a single thirteen-storey block, it is a larger community than some Renaatus buildings.

The catalogue does not list a pool, childcare or a clubhouse. Those who need them should say so in their brief, and the concierge will suggest buildings that have them.
