MAKING A SE AFARING COMMUNIT Y AN E XPERIENCE

This waterfront development is inspired by traditions that reflect Dubai’s heritage as a seafaring community. The intention is to create a destination that is unique to Dubai and unique in Dubai- one that has a character of authenticity and history. To accomplish this, the Al Hamriya Port Waterfront will borrow lessons from the past and incorporate them into the experience of visiting and residing there.

Taking seafaring as its theme, this 13 hectare contemporary development is built up of many layers. In plan, its lively, winding streets lead to points of encounter and activity, reflecting traditional planning patterns and characteristics of Arab villages. The development’s housing forms a hillside village, which spills down across these pedestrian pathways to a fishing harbor with cultural and commercial facilities. Uninterrupted by vehicular traffic, the quiet peace of the village gives way to the lively harbor. The village’s architectural vernacular includes tall wind towers (barajils), decorative screens (mashrabbia), spacious verandahs (liwans), purpose-built entertainment rooms (majlis) and ornate crenellations. These expressions offer a perfect backdrop for sophisticated waterfront souks, restaurants and cafes, bustling ferry terminals and stylish venues.

RETURNING V ITAL IT Y TO A D IST INCTIVE COMMUNIT Y

This master plan focuses on the redevelopment of three existing fishing harbors along Dubai’s coastline. The intent is to create an active fishing harbor which accommodates the needs of fishermen who live and work at the sites while also providing a unique and dynamic experience for visitors by showcasing fishing operations, boat repair, waterfront venues and market souks. While the harbors are unified under one strong vision, each has been given its own distinct character. Drawing inspiration from ancient fishing villages, these developments are designed to reflect Dubai’s rich cultural heritage through the use of traditional meandering patterns, multi-level plazas, and vernacular architectural elements including wind towers (barajils), ornamental lattice screens (mashrabbia), verandahs (liwans), elaborate crenellations and Mecca-oriented prayer halls. Spaces are intentionally planned to appropriately integrate visitors into the waterfront experience while efficient marina configurations provide the ideal setting for bustling ferry terminals and the daily operational activities of the fishing harbors.

Through their redevelopment, these waterfront communities will be rejuvenated, revitalized, and rehabilitated to return a spirit of vitality and sense of place to these fishing harbors.
