THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN RASHIDIYA , DUBAI , UAE. AL RASHIDIYA IS A RESIDENTIAL SUBURB IN DUBAI. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES WHERE EMIRATIS STARTED LIVING AROUND THE 1970S , BEFORE DUBAI HAD STARTED TO GROW. TODAY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE HUBS DUE TO THE NEARBY METRO STATION ACTIVITY. GRADUALLY , THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN EXPAT POPULATION AND A DECREASE OF EMIRATE FAMILIES. THE PROJECT AIMS TO ENHANCE THE LIVABILITY OF THAT AREA. WHILE FOCUSING ON STRATEGIES WHICH CATER TO BOTH THE EXPATS AND LOCALS.

THE BUILDING FOCUSES ON THE INTEGRATION OF BUILT SPACE AND OUTDOOR SPACES. THIS IS DONE TO BRING MAN CLOSER TO NATURE. AND PROMOTE INTERACTION.

WHEN LIGHT PASSES THROUGH OPENINGS , IT CREATES BOTH LIGHT AND SHADOW EFFECT , THIS CAN ALSO BE COMPARED TO POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACES.

UPON FURTHER ABSTRACTION POSTIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACES CAN ALSO BE ABSTRACTED IN DESIGN .
