GREEN COMMUNITY PHASE II & III
MOTOR CITY - DUBAI, UAE
This project is an expansion for the already existing Green Community in Dubai. It
consists of two phases that grow into the area of Motor City. The project is a family
based, housing community compound that houses a total sum of 78 villas in Phase II
and 137 villas and an apartment building of 114 apartment units in Phase III. The project
is also laced with lush greenery and landscape that adds a touch of heaven that helped
to create a piece of Eden in the city of Dubai. Moreover, the expansion project also
houses recreational facilities, retail areas and children playgrounds that are distributed
along the two Phases.
In order to ensure a relation between the existing Green Community and the
expansion phases, the concept of Mediterranean architecture was adopted for
this project. We strived to achieve excellence during the design process and
we aspired to provide a welcoming family environment for the users, thus, the
traditional Mediterranean style of architecture was the most suitable for the
client’s requirements.
One of the main focuses during the design process was ensuring a relationship
between the interior and exterior spaces that can link space articulation inside
with volumes composition outside. We aimed to achieve that by providing lush
greenery all around the premises of the plot. This was helpful in creating an
integration of outdoor and indoor spaces that is both spatial and visual.
The introduction of the lush landscape did not only prove helpful in raising the
aesthetics of the project but it also helped in achieving a functional objective
that we were striving to accomplish, a safe and cozy family environment.
The greenery was helpful in providing a community feel to the project where
families can get together and children can play under parental guidance and
watch.
Another design aspect that was categorized of a high priority in the design
process was the general aura of the project. By mixing tranquil and vibrant
colors, along with the introduction of various light fixtures, we were able to
achieve a palette of earthly colors that proved valuable in acquiring the most
favorable atmosphere for a family community. The integration of color and light
worked together to emphasize all the previous points ranging from forming a
link of inner and outdoor spaces to establishing a, community-based, family
environment.
Arif & Bintoak were the lead consultant and architect of the project, and were
responsible for all project phases from the concept design stage to the end of the
construction supervision stage.
