Leisure, Masterplanning
Our brief was to create a space which would bring together the communities around the Al Qilada residential complex.
Our designs will see the creation of a landscape benchmark for Jeddah residential through the creation of a series of interconnected, richly diverse and inviting, green spaces that inspire delight and joy, promote a sense of community, increase health and wellbeing and provide opportunities for leisure and recreation for all ages.
The design principles bring together thermal comfort solutions with connectivity, creating a series of green threads and parks that provide comfortable pedestrian and cycling routes. These links lead to the magnetic green spine of the development, the Necklace Park, a linear park at the heart of the project that responds to the masterplan zones to accommodate residential and mixed uses.
The new space provides opportunities for leisure and recreation for different age ranges through the creation of different residential courtyards. It offers a landscape which is a strong fit with the neighbourhood and the Kinan Park Development. It also offers new contextual reference points, with the new linear park taking inspiration from the traditional Arabic Necklace Designs.
