An international competition with Dubai Properties to design and develop a sustainable waterfront mixed use community master plan within Phase 3 of the Business Bay development. Heavily influenced by the movement of water, the design of the community included a mix of residential typologies located on a network of canals and a central commercial area. Site and structures employed evaporative cooling, bioremediation, solar energy, sun and shade control, and other innovative natural resource preservation methods and techniques to create a nearly self-sustaining community. Residents and visitors have an intimate relationship with the water through public and private docks, a waterfront promenades, retail areas, parks and gardens and recreational opportunities which have been woven into the fabric of the community.
