Fay Gardens – A Regenerative Neighbourhood Shaped by Nature
Fay Gardens is an integrated residential community within the wider Fay Hills masterplan and represents the first phase of Abu Dhabi’s next-generation sustainable city. Developed by Taraf in partnership with Masdar City, the project is envisioned as a self-sufficient, nature-led neighbourhood—an interconnected landscape of homes, parks, pathways, and shared destinations.
Sustainability is embedded into every layer of the design, from the orientation of the villas and the shaded pedestrian networks to the use of native planting, resilient infrastructure, and climate-responsive strategies. Fay Gardens is not simply a place to live, but a living ecosystem designed to regenerate both people and the environment.
The Sensory Masterplan: Terra, Aria & Azura
The masterplan extends a continuous green corridor from Masdar City to Al Masar Park, seamlessly integrating Fay Gardens into the wider ecological framework. A network of landscaped links weaves through the community, connecting the three garden districts—Terra, Aria, and Azura—each offering a distinct experience of nature, movement, and retreat.
Additional internal green routes create a fully walkable environment, enhancing visual continuity, encouraging social interaction, and providing direct access to Al Masar Park. The neighbourhood unfolds as a sensory journey, shifting between vibrant social spaces and quiet, contemplative gardens.
Inspired by the elements of earth, wind, and water, the three districts are crafted as immersive environments, combining sculpted landscapes, tactile materials, and lush planting to create memorable, experiential spaces.
The Garden Districts
Terra Park forms the social heart of the community. Grounded in earthy layers, it offers multifunction lawns, BBQ terraces, family picnic zones, children’s play areas, and shaded lounges for gathering and relaxation.
Aria Park celebrates movement and vitality, featuring sensory gardens, outdoor fitness zones, yoga pavilions, and mind-body platforms that encourage an active, nature-connected lifestyle.
Azura Park introduces a calm, restorative atmosphere, with reflective water features, tea gardens, sound-healing corners, and quiet reading spaces designed for pause and reflection.
At the centre of the community sits the clubhouse, conceived as a vibrant social and recreational hub. With swimming pools, family amenities, and a fully accessible green roof, it offers landscaped terraces, seating areas, and panoramic views across the gardens—blending leisure and nature seamlessly.
Human-Scaled Mobility
Nature Sikkas weave between villas, creating shaded pedestrian corridors and lush shortcuts that enhance walkability and encourage exploration. Movement throughout the community is intentionally human-scaled:
Boulevards provide elegant arrival routes
Mushtaraks foster neighbourhood intimacy
Shared walking and cycling paths promote a healthy, low-car lifestyle
Autonomous transport and green innovation hubs further support a forward-thinking, low-carbon approach to urban living.
Sustainability at the Core
Fay Gardens is designed to achieve Estidama Pearl 3, integrating sustainability into its very identity through:
Energy-efficient building envelopes
Shaded, walkable streets
Passive cooling via landscape design
Greywater reuse
Native, climate-responsive planting
Reduced reliance on vehicles
Sustainable materials and construction methods
These strategies are not add-ons—they are fundamental to the story and performance of the masterplan.
A New Model for Community Living
Fay Gardens introduces a new vision for sustainable neighbourhoods—where architecture, landscape, and community come together as one regenerative system.
It offers a lifestyle centred on wellbeing, connection, and harmony with nature. Through its immersive green spine, curated parks, human-scaled streets, and refined villas, Fay Gardens sets a new benchmark for Masdar City—one that goes beyond residential living to become a journey through nature, design, and the future of sustainable life.
