Master Plan
Build within the development of the overarching Dubai Islands masterplan, Nionis Residence is amongst an overlaying approach meticulously intended. The community is as inclusive of its walkable streets, waterfront promontories and mixed-use hubs that put amenities within reasonable walking distance. The plan is structured on a spine of a core circle of green and recreational areas in secluded shorelines. The parcel is located to exploit such a hierarchy: its structure is sensitive to the rhythm of the island, which is emphasized by low rise massing retaining the horizon lines without imposing grandeur on the common spaces. The common features of the land landscapes such as walking paths, sitting terraces and enclosed green areas represented are structured to integrate communities together and to focus on the control of microclimate through shade, water and wind sheltering vegetation.
