Compliance with Public Realm Design Manual (PRDM)

During the design development of the Public Realm for the Concept Master Plan stage, we have reviewed the PRDM to ensure the strategies presented herein do not conflict with municipal design standards and guidelines and reflect internationally accepted best practices for public realm design.

The public realm Design Manual states that 20% of the developable areas shall be designated open space (parks and streetscapes). The Yas Zone IB plot 1 development total area is 17.2 ha with 4.4ha (25%) of it designated for open space such as plazas, waterfront and ROW. In addition to this space, residents of the development will have access to private podiums, alleyways and forecourts which creates a significant amount of open space being offered to the residents.

6.3.1 develoPment Intent

The design intent is to create a high quality environment with exceptionally designed spaces that complement the standards and values of Aldar. Based upon the initial Client brief, the Master Plan for the site needs to respond to a number of high level objectives, these include the following: at the heart of the development concept is the notion of Connection - both in terms of physical and emotional connection.

• Deliver a clear urban structure with the distinctive character and form.

• Create a sense of place.

• Buildings to be flexible and adaptable.

• Maximise public open space corridors and private residences with park or canal views.

• Ensure high level access t o the waterfront.

• Develop legible, safe and pedestrian friendly access routes through the site.

• Deliver a sense of community exclusivity with corresponding levels of resident privacy.

The plot connects people to their physical environment, setting the foundation for the inhabitants to take ownership of their surroundings and create a setting that in-turn will lead to a thriving community, supported by the established vision of the wider Yas Island identity.

The foundation of every decision through the design process has always related back to the individual user experience and as such tailored to the Aldar unique requirements.

The images shown here explore natural elements that create patterns, sequences and rhythms that can be used to inform the design process. The land shape and land formation by the water’s edge, the expression of the wave, the patterns in the sand and the ripples in the sea as created by man while interacting with these natural elements - are all the forms that tie and connect the community together.
