THE GROVE, QATAR ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS
JMJ Group Holding in collaboration with Qetaifan Projects has unveiled The Grove, a new seafront neighbourhood and marina designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and claimed to “incorporate the highest standards of design and sustainability.”
Comprising 293 apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms, the Grove has been designed with its waterfront promenade as the heart of the community incorporating cafes and restaurants, as well as shops and boutiques.
Passive design strategies are combined with advanced cooling technologies to enable residents and visitors to enjoy outdoor living, dining and recreation throughout the year. Powered by onsite renewables and developed for optimum efficiencies, the re-utilisation of pre-cooled extracted air from the buildings will cool the promenade during warmer months to enhance user comfort. The orientation and composition of The Grove’s residences have been designed to optimise views, shading and privacy, together with the “intricately crafted interiors” of the common areas. Each apartment includes extensive outdoor living spaces on generous balconies. “Defining the development’s unique geometries, the facades are characterised by an interplay of vertical and horizontal ‘scoops’ that create a dynamic visual rhythm,” said ZHA. They have been designed to meet Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) targets of less than 50% glazing. The stepped balconies and vertical components within the facade provide separation and privacy for residents while maintaining views of the waterfront from each apartment. Developed as a modular system enabling repetition and optimisation to increase efficiencies in production, the facades enhance the building’s environmental performance and provide extensive shading in response to the region’s climatic demands.
