The Archive by Imtiaz is a library-inspired residential development in Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), Dubai, designed around the idea of combining contemporary residences with spaces dedicated to reading, creativity, wellness and social living. The development features studios, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, with a signature two-storey library containing approximately 10,000 books, alongside a Reading Lounge, Writer’s Room and rooftop Reading Salon. The project is planned as a B+G+3P+13+R residential building, with handover currently stated as Q3 2028 by the developer’s project information.

The interiors of The Archive follow a sophisticated, library-inspired design concept, combining warm contemporary finishes with practical layouts and spaces designed for comfortable everyday living. Residences are presented with modern open-plan layouts, private balconies and large windows, while current project listings describe the apartments as fully furnished, with designer furniture, premium finishes and integrated appliances in selected specifications. The overall interior concept is intended to create a calm residential environment that complements the project's focus on reading, creativity and relaxation.

The exterior architecture of The Archive is centred around a contemporary residential tower with a distinctive identity inspired by books and the idea of a modern library. The building incorporates landscaped outdoor areas, water features, rooftop facilities and multiple communal spaces across its podium and upper levels. The rooftop extends the lifestyle concept outdoors with separate adult and children's pools, a terrace garden, BBQ and lounge areas and an open-air cinema, creating a combination of leisure and social spaces within the development.

The masterplan of The Archive is organised around a central library-led lifestyle concept, integrating residential living with spaces for learning, wellness, recreation and social interaction. The development brings together a two-storey library, reading and writing areas, fitness facilities, landscaped outdoor spaces, water features, children's facilities and dedicated pet areas. At rooftop level, residents have access to separate adult and children's pools, a terrace garden, Reading Salon, BBQ and lounge and outdoor cinema. This combination creates a residential environment where indoor and outdoor amenities are distributed throughout the building rather than relying solely on a conventional pool-and-gym offering.
