Concept The goal of the proposal is to present a schematic design for a formal Arabic and french garden adapted to Qatar’s sensibilities and site conditions. It includes the extension and amendment of the existing built landscape to create a more comprehensive and coherent landscape design which accommodates the various site users. Within the scheme, the event area underwent a detailed design to introduce a go kart race track and entertainment hub.

The two schematics presented manifest the formal garden through:

Option 1

Axes & Symmetry The site is organized through the division of spaces using primary and secondary channels of movements. These axes serve as the mirror line for the symmetrical form.

Hierarchy & Drama Experiencing and moving through the site is manipulated by hierarchy and drama, where the height, size, and complexity of the surrounding area offer a guided tour.

Water

Water plays a central role in formal Arabic gardens as it represents the source of life.

Water is used in the scheme to produce different experiences of space, as reflecting ponds, natural lakes, fountains, and channels.

Plantation &Ornamentation

Option 2

The planting proposed for the site design the character of the formal garden while incorporating plant arrangements of a more contemporary nature. There will be a transition from formal parterre in Arabic geometry to more naturalistic scenery.

The Options

While the two option adhere to the same concept guidelines, they are distinguished in approach and concentration of interventions, and level of formality. On the other hand, both options adopt of a more contemporary style in the south area adjacent to the house.

In option 1 the majority of construction and intervention will take place in the south area of the site, and smaller scale intervention at the north area will include the addition of planting to the existing forms created by the existing hardscape. In option 2, the south area is seen as a more temporary landscape able to accommodates additional buildings and amenities.

The level of formality and symmetry is more apparent in option 2, while option uses a central axes and a more organic periphery.
