Dubai-based holding company, Meraas, is committed to enrich Dubai’s tourism industry by rejuvenating Dubai Creek into a new tourism destination – Al Seef. Stretching 1.8 km along the creek, the development is located in the historic heart of Dubai adjacent to the Al Fahidi Cultural Historical Neighborhood.
Al Seef is conceptualised to embrace the Emirati culture and yet at the same time shape the modern lifestyle of Dubai. This new development, which has attracted substantial new thinking and investment in Dubai, is one of the UAE’s most popular destinations.
10 DESIGN is the Design Architect for the Contemporary District of Al Seef, leading the project from concept design all the way through to construction supervision.
The contemporary area is designed by 10 DESIGN as a complementary foil to the heritage area which forms part of the wider masterplan. The contemporary area includes retail, F&B, hospitality, marina amenities and parking covering over a total of 85,000m2.
Gordon Affleck, Design Partner, said: “The individual design personalities of each retail and F&B pavilion incorporate crafted and layered façade solutions, resulting in a rich variety framing the visitor experience. Beneficially each pavilion has a distinctive identity; however, a common palette of materials and consistent approach to the precision of detailing ties together the separate elements to form a coherent solution across the whole district.”
“To complete a holistic lifestyle offer, Al Seef accommodates 2 hotels by Jumeirah: a 150-key Zabeel House Mini and a 200-key Zabeel House. Extending from the hotels is the creation of separate F&B water pavilions that spill out and into the creek, stepping across a terraced, cascading landscape for a distinctive take on waterfront dining opportunities.” added Chris Jones, Partner – MENA.
Ross Milne, Chief Operating Officer, explained: “The complexities of realizing the project included the consideration of important and historic neighbourhoods, necessary service diversions and the reinforcement of existing sea walls. The result, however, is uncompromisingly contemporary but appropriately scaled with a rich palette of materials”
Al Seef seeks to maximize its waterfront location, celebrating cultural links and creating a rich, diverse, and vibrant place filled with exciting retail, leisure and hospitality outlets.
