5 key facts about this project
Unique Sustainability Approach
The project incorporates sustainable design elements that significantly reduce energy consumption. It features vertical gardens and wind catchers, both of which facilitate natural ventilation. These elements are integrated into the architectural design, allowing for reduced reliance on mechanical cooling systems. The central courtyard acts as a focal point for the community, promoting engagement among residents while providing a microclimate that supports outdoor activities. Utilizing locally sourced materials aligns with the project’s commitment to environmental stewardship while ensuring a connection to the region's architectural heritage.
Community-Centric Design
A key focus of the project is fostering a sense of community through open spaces and neighborhood planning. The layout consists of interconnected paths and communal gardens that encourage social interaction, particularly among families. The design elements include private villa spaces that seamlessly connect to shared outdoor areas without compromising privacy. This balance helps reinforce communal bonds while respecting personal space. Traditional Emirati architectural concepts, such as barahat (courtyards) and sikks (alleys), are woven into the design, offering familiarity and enhancing the overall livability of the neighborhood.
The integration of these elements results in a cohesive architectural language that is both functional and culturally relevant.
