ROLE
Strategy, Concept Design For A Project Development
STATUS
Completed
Located in the heart of the new Sharjah, a new residential community, spanning over 3 million square feet, is set to offer a lifestyle that integrates modern living, retail and leisure into a vibrant urban environment.
The main purpose behind this project was to develop a meaningful intervention that brings identity, sense of community and an international outreach.
Inspiration and First Ideas
Our inspiration behind this project was the people of Sharjah and, more specifically, their emotions. theleisureway wanted to create a space where emotions shape and define your experience and perception of the place.
Solution
Inspired by the people and for the people, theleisureway designed a playful art collection, manifesting different gestures humans make when expressing their emotions with a cool and fashionable aesthetic. The welcome square is an attraction for everyone in New Sharjah, an active anchor on the central pedestrian axis that boosts circulation and embraces visitors in a friendly environment protected from the parking and the sun. It includes a kids’ pavilion and a toddlers’ area. The residential square is a family-friendly, playful pocket. It is a private area for the surrounding neighbours with a play-and-seat concept. Lastly, the incredible and emblematic F&B square. It is the social heart of the project and a hub for families and students with its sculptural and attractive fresh core: The Artistic Garden.
