<p>Scope: Master plan for new coastal city overlooking Atlantic Ocean at gateway to Sahara desert. Phase 1: residential villas, multi-star hotels, restaurants. Architectural language blends Andalusian and Moroccan traditions.<br>Challenge: Create entirely new city on undeveloped site inspired by area&#x27;s rich history (meeting point of Andalusia and Morocco) - translating cultural heritage into contemporary master plan and architecture. Balance luxury resort development with sensitive desert and coastal landscape context. Design mixed-use community (residential, hospitality, F&amp;B) that harmoniously blends modern functionality with traditional architectural character.<br>Approach: Extensive master plan emerges organically from sand dune topography rather than imposing alien urbanism on landscape. Phase 1 focuses on residential villas and hospitality programming establishing character and quality standards. Architectural strategy blends Andalusian and Moroccan styles - creating fusion that references historical cultural convergence of the region while delivering contemporary luxury amenity.<br>Status: Phase 1 completed - awarded first prize in residential category at 2008 Cityscape Awards, Abu Dhabi</p>
