Abu Dhabi, UAE — 210 hectares. Landscape master-plan development and coordination for the Yas Canal Community, a waterfront mixed-use neighbourhood of villas, apartments and community facilities, with an esplanade facing Ferrari World, SeaWorld and the Yas Marina Circuit.
The Yas Canal Community harmonizes expansive open spaces, distinct community areas and a diverse range of residential offerings to create tranquil neighborhoods beside some of Abu Dhabi’s most captivating attractions, and is connected by a pedestrian bridge to the renowned Yas Bay waterfront.
Designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, the community forms a collection of neighborhoods that are both connected and contextual. Catering to a diverse community, it includes residential villas, apartments, community facilities and varied amenities, leveraging its prime waterfront location to integrate fully with the vibrancy and natural beauty of the area.
Its public open space network is structured as a clear hierarchy of district open spaces — including the esplanade and marina-view park — neighborhood parks, linear neighborhood paths and gardens, and local open spaces.
