Oystra, the new mixed-use development in UAE by #ZHA for @official.richmind Located on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, Oystra is a 128,000 sq. m seafront development of 950 one- to four-bedroom apartments, duplexes, penthouses, and waterfront villas, together with shopping, dining & leisure amenities. Ras Al Khaimah is one of #UAE’s fastest-growing emirates with its population projected to grow 55% by 2030, requiring an additional 45,000 homes to meet future demand. #RasAlKhaimah’s tourism sector is also experiencing record growth. The emirate is anticipated to welcome 3.5 million tourists a year by 2030, increasing from 100,000 visitors in 2013. Extending 4.5 km into the Arabian Sea with 23 km of coastline including 7.8 km of beaches, #AlMarjanIsland is being developed with parks, marinas, wellness centres & entertainment hubs. Giving more than 75% of its apartments unobstructed views of the sea, the development’s fluid geometries encompass large balconies and terraces shaped to echo the rippled patterns carved by waves in sand. These balconies serve as extensions of each apartment’s living space while also shading the interiors from direct sunlight. Oystra’s sculptural 20-storey waterfront towers are set within 42,000 sq. m of landscaped gardens, courtyards & beach club overlooking the bay, while the rooftop restaurant and 360° infinity pool give panoramic views of Al Marjan Island and the Arabian Sea. The development connects with Al Marjan Island’s tree-lined coastal promenade, giving residents pedestrian access throughout the island via this sheltered shoreline walkway cooled by prevailing north-westerly winds blowing inland from the sea. Environmental simulations maximised efficiencies in site conditions, structure, and orientation, while digital mapping analysis optimised the design’s external solar shading and enhanced natural ventilation. The development will integrate seawater-based cooling and an insulating cavity between the building envelope and the project’s façades that are exposed to direct sunlight. Render @MIR.NO
