A private residence courtyard rebuilt around three retained ghaf trees — layered shade, a sunken majlis garden and subsurface irrigation that halved the old water bill.
A public shoreline stabilised with native dune grasses and salt-tolerant shrubs — walking loops, tidal planting and zero potable water once established.
A twelfth-floor terrace turned into a wind-hardy meadow — lightweight soil profile, native grasses and a rain-fed cistern feeding the dry months.
Shaded pedestrian spines and study gardens knitting the buildings together — a native canopy plan drawn to reach full shade over ten academic years.
A hospitality landscape that lets the dunes lead — sculpted sand, sidr and desert bloom, and night lighting tuned to keep the sky dark.
A constructed wetland cleaning district greywater through reed beds — a working landscape that also became the neighbourhood’s favourite walk.
Every figure above is measured after establishment — the landscape as it actually performs, not as it was promised.
