Lusail Medicinal & Educational District Masterplan

This project is located to the North of Doha and spread over an area of 38km2, with a waterfront location stretching over 28km. The new district has a total area of over 3km2. The brief required a design to deliver a definitive and technically resolved masterplan, and we provided the design guidelines, regulations and concepts used to inform & create each educational and medical precincts character and design standard. The scope included:

‚ Site analysis and current disposition predicated on concept land-use plan

Planning concept: Givens, objectives and strategies

‚ Concept Masterplan: Disposition options

‚ Utilities reviews

‚ Concept Lighting strategies

‚ Street and pedestrian relationships

‚ Pedestrian movement

‚ Character imagery and style

Two options were developed for the concept masterplan and thematic character at Stage 1 and a preferred option was selected to develop at stage 2 and to completion of the final masterplan guidelines and public realm schematic design. The plan set the following:

‚ Meet the brief, introduced creative design solutions

‚ Distributed land-use and densities

‚ Addressed the requirement for high standard “first impressions” on approach highways

‚ Achieved the HMC objectives

Incorporate the educational strategy for the whole of the Lusail development
