5 key facts about this project
### Project Overview
Located in Dubai, HorizonRoam addresses the evolving needs of remote work for young professionals within urban settings. The design aims to facilitate a balanced integration of work and leisure, creating an environment that promotes productivity while enhancing connections to the surrounding natural landscape.
### Spatial Configuration and Functionality
The project's layout employs a linear settlement design, fostering fluid interactions among designated work, leisure, and communal spaces. Each modular unit is strategically positioned to offer privacy alongside expansive views of the landscape, promoting a tranquil working environment. Versatile spaces within each unit adapt to the user's needs, allowing areas to transform from workspaces to leisure zones.

### Sustainable Material Practices
A focus on sustainability informs the selection of construction materials, ensuring both durability and eco-friendliness. The Kingspan HK-Design Cassette facade provides essential insulation suited for Dubai's climate, while the QuadCore AWP wall panel contributes to a reduced carbon footprint. Additional materials, such as cement-based boards for structure durability and wood paneling for warmth, are incorporated thoughtfully. The integration of energy-efficient technologies, including solar panels and high-performance Kooltherm K107 insulation, supports the project's commitment to minimizing ecological impact and energy costs.
