Themed Retail and Tourism District, Middle East

Located at the heart of the city, this 10,000 sqm themed retail and food & beverage district will serve as a seamless addition to the surrounding community. Set around four primary destination spaces the project is primed to become the new social hub of the city. By day gardens, markets, activity plazas and boutique offices create diverse spaces for families, office workers and local residents. By night event spaces, night markets, concept restaurants, and a multi-purpose ‘special’ event building will make the development a unique destination for local residents and tourists alike.

Working with the client, lO DESIGN created and defined a visual brief and identity for the project. lO DESIGN were able to provide a cost effective façade, services and structural solution by the innovative adaption of predetermined design parameters.
