<p>Scope: 24,840m² resort extension adjacent to existing Oberoi Beach Resort within Al Zorah Development (Solidere International and Government of Ajman joint venture, 45km from Dubai). Eight two-bedroom villas on two lower platforms, restaurant and swimming pool on upper platform, 350m² back-of-house at basement level.<br>Challenge: Integrate extension with existing resort operations while managing significant grade changes across site. Design three-platform strategy that maintains seamless connectivity with existing resort levels while accommodating new villa programming, F&amp;B operations, and guest amenities. Balance operational efficiency (back-of-house access, service circulation) with guest experience and architectural continuity.<br>Approach: Three-platform terracing strategy resolves level transitions between new extension and existing resort - enabling connectivity while creating distinct zones for villa clusters (lower platforms) and shared amenities (upper platform). Basement back-of-house consolidates service functions beneath restaurant, minimizing operational visibility.<br>Status: Completed</p>
