In this, the first part of a significant cultural zone masterplan for Dubai, a community of diverse creative industries is connected by seamless paving expressing a minimal and bold aesthetic punctuated by street art and spill-out zones.

A network of outdoor spaces connect the buildings, creating a flexible canvas for outdoor events, installations, concerts and exhibitions, as well as for everyday informal activities.

In d3’s wide open landscape of linear paving with dark accents, bespoke outdoor furniture and clever integration of MEP outlets into usable gathering spaces, the space has become a vibrant and inspirational working/socialising hub for the city’s artists, designers and creatives.

ICD Brookfield Place DIFC

ICD Brookfield Place, Dubai, UAE landscape design

Lauded for its focus on health, well-being and sustainability, this is an extraordinary multi-functional work and retail environment.

The tall indoor trees of the summer garden and the cool green plazas with their linkages to the wider community make ICD Brookfield Place a calming verdant setting for working, learning, socialising and inspired thought, promoting a mindset of shared responsibility in the attainment of sustainability goals.

Adopting a restrained aesthetic, the space is defined by generous public realm which is accessible to all. The flexible Summer Garden is a destination in its own right while the adjacent treed exterior plazas bring cooling shade to the surrounding urban streetscape.

Eastern Mangroves

Adhering to the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency’s values, our nature-immersive design for the Eastern Mangroves has a light touch approach, sensitively increasing ecotourism and allowing people to be immersed in but not damage the environment.

Provision for kayaking and a boardwalk through the mangroves allows visitors to engage with this special habitat, and a visitor centre provides educational opportunities and information on why the mangroves are so unique and crucial to protect.

Al Ittihad Park

Al Ittihad Park lies below the Monorail along the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah, nestled between residential communities.

The park is a haven of tranquility and calm, connecting two previously separated halves of the trunk. Using mainly native plants, a natural xeriscape defines a regional sense of place and strong park identity.

Actively encouraging exploration, children can engage in natural play whilst fitness trails support an active lifestyle. Cafe spill out takes advantage of the serene views, contributing to the social life of the neighbourhood.
