96 hectares | Bahrain

 

PROJECT DETAILS:

The master plan for Al Madina Al Shamaliya (AMAS)
provides a range of residential types from social housing
typologies, apartments, townhouses to free-standing
villas. With a net density of 36.8 dwellings per hectare,
the master plan provides for 1600 social housing
villas, 165 affordable housing villas and 200 affordable
apartment units.


To support a population of approximately 12,000 people,
a series of local centres are distributed throughout the
site within the high density mixed used zone around the
beach. The community facilities are distributed based
on a hierarchy that relates to population and walkability
optimizing their efficient and effective utilization.


One of the key drivers of the AMAS master plan has
been the maximization of visual access to the island’s
edge and the provision of views towards the sea to the
north and the Bahrain City’s skyline to the south.
