Designs for Bilaj Al Jazayer Beach, Bahrain\u2019s newest dynamic beach destination, have been revealed.<\/p>\n

The 3.5-km (2.1-mile) walkable mixed-use district will provide new homes, hotels, retail, green spaces, and state-of-the-art amenities.<\/p>\n

Drawing inspiration from Miami\u2019s low-rise Art Deco buildings and Bahrain\u2019s traditional vernacular, the permeable development features tree-lined streets, shaded courtyards, and a spectacular public park directly connecting with the waterfront.<\/p>\n

The masterplan is organized around three primary axes: Beach Drive, which spans the full length of the beachfront; Main Boulevard, which is set back and runs parallel; and Bilaj Al Jazayer Avenue, which directly connects the two.<\/p>\n

The green space is lined with native trees and designed with pedestrian walkways and bike lanes. Buildings on Beach Drive feature ground-level shops, restaurants, and cafes.<\/p>\n

Smaller boutique hotels are interspersed at 500-m (1,640-ft) intervals across the masterplan, with residential communities between them. The centrepiece of the master plan is a public surf park, which uses wave-generating technology to replicate the natural ocean environment on land.<\/p>\n

The project is undertaken by Foster + Partners, a global architecture studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
