The project is a masterplan proposal for a touristic village development in Aqaba, Jordan. Spanning approximately 30,000 m2, it encompasses a mix of programs including a marina, hotel, housing, retail/souq, public spaces, and underground parking. With a total area of 25,000 square meters, the aim was to create an urban development inspired by traditional seaside towns/villages characterized by their density, human scale, and pedestrian-friendly nature. The project maximizes building density through a grid scheme that allows for various spatial and massing options. Each building black was designed with space making building footprint that creates a series of private courtyards or public spaces. The housing blocks are combined with retail space that allows the development the vibrant qualities experienced in traditional seaside towns. Pedestrian pathways, public spaces, markets, gardens, and private courtyards, permeate the development, while vehicular movement significantly reduced to maintain the capacity of inhabiting the exterior space.
