G+11 Residential building with commercial amenities at the ground was proposed at Al Jadaf, Dubai. The form & character of the building desired to have the impression of traditional Arabian architecture as the plot is in the vicinity of the Cultural Village. Keeping this in mind, the design set a balance between the residential and commercial activities, and they were clubbed together under the same roof of a building giving it the strong character of Arabian architecture.
Th Design: The ground level is dedicated to commercial activities with connectivity to residential levels. Parking is a major task was allocated on podium levels.e mass of the podium not only served for parking but also formed a deck to serve amenities like a swimming pool, kids play area, gardens, jogging track, etc on top. This gave the building the solid character of bold mass. Above those are the levels of residences, designed as combinations of studios/ 1 bed/ 2 bed & 3 bedrooms units.
The layout varies at different levels to give the staggered form of character to the building creating pocketsfor terraces ornamented with wooden (bamboo) pergolas and parapets with mashrabiyas, thus giving a touch of local architectural style. 225 units are designed to contribute to the building overlooking the street in front & amenities on the rear of the plot. The external façade is cured with basic shades & adorned with the style of local architecture like wind towers, wooden windows, bamboo pergolas, etc to suit the surroundings and define the Arabian Architecture.
