Marsa Al Seef, Dubai, UAE

The aspiration of the project is for a truly world class mixed use destination in the heart of the oldest part of this Arabian city. The development will engage directly in the commercial and traditional activities in the district, like boat building, fruit and vegetable markets, boat tours, and fish markets. As such, the primary objective is to develop a sustainable tourist destination around these traditional activities with retail, food and beverage, hotel, and residential accommodation.

lO DESIGN has been awarded to lead the design for this 18 hectare masterplan and the architectural design for the project.
