This competition focuses on the development of an exclusive residential complex in Abu Dhabi. Up to 120 luxury villas with 4 to 5 bedrooms are to be built in a picturesque beachfront setting. The proposed masterplan aims to create a modern, luxurious yet sustainable residential neighbourhood that harmoniously combines urban living with the surrounding nature. This is to be realised through the establishment of a green core, the seamless integration of green and water areas and the connection to the Khor, among other things.
Villas
Open atriums and skylights allow sunlight to enter directly into the interior of the building, creating a special connection with the ever-changing sky above. Spacious verandas and terraces create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor areas, while an inner courtyard garden serves as a quiet retreat. Thanks to double-height volumes in the living area, the rooms appear spacious and open. A green wall with lush planting and elegant water features brings nature inside the house and ensures a pleasant indoor climate.
Flexible underground spaces
The villas offer the option of adding a basement. This underground level can be flexibly adapted to individual needs and easily converted e.g. into a garage, fitness room, sauna or home cinema.
Framing the views
The luxurious pool area and the comfortable outdoor lounge are perfect for relaxing and socialising. A stylish pergola provides shade and enhances the outdoor area as an architectural element.
Green centre
The ‘GREEN CORE’ is the centre of recreation and tranquillity, the heart of the district. It is complemented by various public facilities and serves as a social hub for social interaction and community activities. Integrated water features improve the microclimate and enhance the quality of the environment. Thoughtfully designed green spaces and water channels run through the entire area and create a direct and harmonious connection to the coast. Around the green core you can find important public facilities, including shops and restaurants, a beach club and a children's playground. This central location ensures optimal accessibility for all residents and promotes a lively community life within the neighbourhood.
Playground
A central playground with circular areas allows for a variety of activities. With climbing walls, slides, climbing nets and more, this lively place offers endless fun and adventure for children of all ages. The playground encourages active play and social interaction and is a favourite meeting place for families.
Supermarket
The ‘Circular Supermarket’ with its innovative, circular design promotes efficient use of space and at the same time serves as a lively gathering point for residents.
