About the project (provided by the applicant)
The Awir Palace project, with a built-up area of 2,500 square meters on a 25,000 square meter plot, is located in the Al Awir area of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This project includes five main buildings: the main villa, the guest villa, the stable, the majlis (sitting area), and the Pavilion. Additionally, there are two entrance buildings (north and west), and facilities such as security, staff quarters, a children's playground, a paddle court, a tennis court, an outdoor pool and etc.
The main challenge of this project was to redesign the buildings according to the regulations and standards of the UAE while preserving the original structure of the project. The previous design was bound to symmetry and forced to follow the formal lines of the project. However, by strengthening the structure and creating new volumetric compositions, multiple activity scenarios were developed, resulting in a dynamic volume that is compatible with the site.
