The master planning responds to the local climatic, social and sustainability needs to create a contextually appropriate architecture. The contemporary Islamic style architecture responds to the brief by providing an introverted planning that is designed around a central landscaped courtyard. The residential units are enclosing a shaded and landscaped courtyard that is optimally shaded and densely planted as an oasis amidst the city. Each of the unit has proximately positioned parking, which allows residents to park close to the house for ease.
The architectural style and planning on this project are inspired by the world heritage site, Jeddah, the Gate to Makkah. The traditional typology of shaded streets with filigree fenestration, solid masonry walls and terraces are interpreted in contemporary planning and form. The solid whites create a contextually appropriate style that is rooted in history and reinterpreted for a modern aesthetic and use.
