Nested in a revitalizing district on the outskirts of Muscat, Oman, Al Khuwair Mixed Use Center is envisioned to set a new standard for future development in the area. The project is a pragmatic mix between residences and commercial uses.
This proposal seeks to reaffirm an architecture of distinctive Middle Eastern character with the creation of four different buildings connected on the top floors to create a courtyard. Shade elements and ample breezeways allow for a free flow of breezes. The stylized mixed-use complex will have a movie theatre, high-end stores, offices, apartments, and a 5-star hotel with rooftop amenities for the residents and hotel guests, such as a spa, pool & sun deck, clubhouses, gyms, and lounge areas.
