The project is a contexture Mixed-Use Development (MXD) on a flat site located in Abu Dhabi along the
river Khor al-maqta.
The Khor al maqta river can be used as a view factor and as a main inspiration for the design.
Hotel and Commercial Center design is inspired by natural forms created when water and land meet. The
spaces between the volumes are carefully landscaped creating a series of green spaces.
At the heart of and running throughout the scheme, are landscaped public spaces and pedestrian streets
that connect all the buildings. This sets the scheme apart from a rigid formation of the view of the Sheikh
Zayed Grand Mosque Center.
The proposed project includes the following used: Residential, Hotel, Commercial center and Offices.
