The new neighborhood´s master plan establishes a hierarchy of programs in order to provide privacy and quality of space to the community. The apartment blocks are placed on the borders to protect the houses and the common areas. The houses are grouped creating small communities with pedestrian walkways that connect the main streets with the heart of the project, the club house. 


The apartment buildings are elevated from the ground to provide space in the street for parking. They have cross ventilation and big terraces overlooking the compound center. The houses have an L shape scheme that links the interior with an intimate and private garden; a combination of selected qualities of the Gulf traditional houses and Mediterranean villas, bringing privacy and shade. The club house has a usable green roof that covers the indoor program and brings back the space taken by its construction to the community. A light pergola shades the outdoor space and integrates the tennis courts’ fences as part of the design.

El nuevo plan director del barrio establece una jerarquía de los programas con el fin de ofrecer privacidad y espacios de calidad a la comunidad. Los bloques de apartamentos se sitúan en los bordes para proteger las casas y las zonas comunes. Las casas se agrupan en conjuntos menores con paseos peatonales que conectan las principales calles con el corazón del proyecto, el club. Las casas en forma de L conectan el interior con un jardín privado.


Estas unen las mejores cualidades de las casas tradicionales del Golfo y las villas mediterráneas, aportando privacidad y sombra. Los edificios de apartamentos se elevan desde el suelo para proporcionar espacio de aparcamiento en la calle. Disponen de ventilación cruzada y grandes terrazas con vistas al barrio. El club cuenta con una cubierta vegetal transitable que cubre el programa interior y devuelve a la comunidad el espacio ocupado por la construcción. Una pérgola ligera sombrea el espacio al aire libre y integra las vallas de las pistas de tenis y la piscina como parte del diseño.
