THE HABITAT
ABU DHABI, UAE
The Habitat is a theoretical model for mixed-use living that challenges typical solutions for high-density development. Seen within this framework, The Habitat proposes a unified and integrated approach to urban planning, architecture, engineering, and landscape design.
This model includes residential, office, hotel, and retail uses that challenge conventional solutions for multi-use projects. As a response to the dire need for sustainable landscaped spaces within the city, we have proposed a matrix that incorporates ‘neighborhood parks in the sky.’ These shared spaces have the potential to act as catalysts, creating identity and helping establish smaller groups or communities within a larger whole.
