2. Masterplan & Building Typology

*Approximate values; see BIM model for detailed quantities.

• A central green spine connects all blocks via pedestrian pathways.

• Vehicular traffic is directed to the perimeter road, ensuring car-free courtyards.

• Seafront orientation and building gaps allow for uninterrupted views and natural ventilation corridors.

3. Residential Blocks (8 Units)

• Modular floor plans accommodate multiple unit types within a unified structure.

• Dual façade system enhances natural cross-ventilation throughout the day.

• All buildings feature rooftop terraces with communal gardens, yoga decks, and sunbathing areas.

4. Tower Block (1 Unit)

• The 14-storey residential tower offers 360° panoramic views of the sea and city.

• Slender form reduces wind load; reinforced concrete core with steel framing.

• The top floor includes a sky lounge and infinity pool, balancing public and private spaces.

5. Commercial Block (1 Unit)

• Ground floor features a supermarket, cafés, and restaurants; upper floors provide co-working spaces.

• Photovoltaic canopy on the roof provides shading by day and lighting by night.

• Public plaza in front encourages integration with neighboring developments and pedestrian flow.

6. Sustainability & Construction Technology

• Fully coordinated BIM (Revit) model used across all disciplines (MEP, structural, architectural).

• Rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse system enables 35% water savings.

• Local stone cladding and timber brise-soleil reduce long-term façade maintenance.

• Targeting LEED Silver certification with 18% projected operational energy savings.

7. Transportation & Parking

• 400-space underground parking garage, including electric vehicle charging stations.
