这个社区被规划在一个干涸的河床周围，变成一个线性公园和中央绿洲。这片土地上种植的大多是本土的耐旱物种，灌溉的是从建筑机械系统中收集到的再生水。广场的中心有三座公寓楼，分别是一楼零售、图书馆、餐厅、娱乐中心、游泳馆、清真寺和超市。这些公寓包括一层和两层的单元，有双高的起居区和阳台。几个雕塑，不锈钢屋顶延伸到公园，以创造流动的阴影檐。

The community is planned around a dry riverbed transformed into a linear park and central oasis. The landscape is mostly planted with indigenous, drought-tolerant species and irrigated with recycled water collected from building mechanical systems. Three apartment buildings with ground-floor retail, library, dining hall, recreation center, natatorium, mosque and supermarket are clustered at the site's heart. The apartments include one-story and two-story units with double-height living areas and balconies. Several of the sculptural, stainless-steel roofs extend toward the park to create flowing shade canopies.

围绕这一核心，住宅小区的设计是紧凑，可持续和行人友好。191个别墅被组织成可步行的街区，大小从两卧室联排别墅到六卧室别墅不等.它们是沿着弯曲的、有阴影的街道排列的，所以视野向内指向建筑物和景观，而不是指向工地外围的太阳能阵列和公用事业结构。车库和服务小巷位于房屋的后面。

Surrounding this core, the residential neighborhoods are designed to be compact, sustainable and pedestrian-friendly. The 191 villas, organized into walkable blocks, range in size from two-bedroom townhouses to six-bedroom villas. They are arranged along curving, shaded streets so views are directed inward to buildings and landscapes, rather than to solar arrays and utility structures on the periphery of the site. Garages and service alleys are located at the rear of the houses.

该住房可容纳1 872名居民，旨在反映当地文化传统，并为生活在沙漠中提供可持续的解决办法。L形别墅是围绕着私人庭院组织起来的，配有太阳能热水器。它们是用灰泥和混凝土建造的，有隔热窗户和防晒霜，以减少加热和冷却负荷。

Accommodating 1,872 residents, the housing is designed to reflect local cultural traditions and provide sustainable solutions for living in the desert. The L-shaped villas are organized around private courtyards and equipped with solar hot water heaters. They are constructed of stucco and concrete with insulated windows and sunscreens to reduce heating and cooling loads.
