An Angel On The Coast
Landscape Middle East|June 2019

The Vero Studio worked alongside internationally renowned architects RMJM and a multi-disciplinary team of international consultants to design the landscape for Angel Bay, a public realm scheme located on Hayat Island in Ras Al Khaimah.

An Angel On The Coast

The island is located within the Mina Al Arab district developed by RAK Properties and is part of an exciting and ambitious masterplan, which includes various components such as luxury beachside villas and townhouses, five-star hospitality destinations as well as beachside leisure, F&B and retail offerings.

The landscape project design encompasses a beachside public realm destination covering more than 40,000m2 as well as the streetscape design of the main artery access road which extends over approximately 2km in length and occupies an area of more than 60,000m2. The streetscape will ultimately form the spine of the island and connects the various components of the masterplan back to the main land and the Mina Al Arab area.

The concept for the landscape was born out of a cultural exploration into the history of RAK and the UAE in general. Vero carefully studied how this concept could be interpreted and applied it into a modern and vibrant setting. Vero knew the design had to be unique if it was to stand out in a crowded market, creating features which add value to the landscape that will result in a premium destination with international reach. This design philosophy was constantly tested throughout the eighteen-month pre-contract design phase and subtle reminders of the overall story behind the design are located throughout the project.
