Mangrove Place Residential
Project: The Other DADA, proposal, 2014
Location Khobar, KSA
Joanna Maria Daoud contribution: conceptual design, sustainable and environmental strategies, drawings.
This project is a residential compound containing five family villas, one reception villas (Majles) and mosque. The site is in Khobar which has hot and humid summers, cold and dry winters. It is located on a plot facing the Persian Gulf Sea. The design approach of the project was to move from a reclaimed land to a multi-ecosystem habitat. The site is located on a reclaimed land, with a low ecological value and deprived habitat that used to be an ecologically rich and biodiverse mangrove forest.
