We hope you enjoy this month's issue and find inspiration in the projects featured within its pages.

Our cover story this month reveals how outdoor landscapes have been adapted for high-rise living. Whether it’s a skyscraper or a two storey apartment building, people need a connection with nature beyond the standard vertical garden. One of last year’s top trends in Landscape architecture was the use of smart technologies to elevate the design of urban spaces, which is at a premium, to make it more convenient, comfortable and accessible for residents. Sky Hills Residence in Dubai Science Park has done just that — currently under construction, off-plan development stands out for its commitment to fostering an outdoor lifestyle rarely seen in high-rise residences. Due for completion in 2026, NGS architects has ingeniously crafted a beach resort theme, that may be the first of its kind for high-rise buildings. The outdoor recreational area also features a 375m running track that loops around both towers and an elevated lazy river on the east side of Tower 2.
Another impressive project worth mentioning for its commitment to sustainable design is the newly opened Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort. With a near perfect natural setting amidst the lush mangroves and serene lagoons of RAK’s biodiverse landscape, I don’t think that LMS were too stretched when drawing up the landscaping plans. They capitalised on panoramic views of glittering waterways and thick-rooted mangrove ecosystems, home to beautiful pink flamingos.
The resort was designed to minimize its environmental footprint, with furniture and fittings within the resort crafted from sustainable wood and recycled fabrics and plastics utilized wherever possible. It also has its own greywater waste recycling, harnesses thermodynamic solar panels for water heating, and operates its own water bottling plant to provide local drinking water. 
We also have an article from UAE based Arborist, Mark Laurence, setting out why it’s so important to have healthy soil for tree planting.

As we step into a promising new year, we’re delighted to share some key expert insights into the anticipated trends for the region’s landscaping industry in 2024.
We’ve called upon our team of seasoned professionals and industry leaders to analyse the evolving landscaping and urban design industry and offer their valuable perspectives on what lies ahead. From sustainable practices becoming the norm to more cutting-edge technologies, we aim to equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities that the coming year presents.

One of the highlights of this issue is an article on the concept of pixelation in home design. We delve into how this innovative approach is reshaping the aesthetics of residential landscapes, creating visually stunning and dynamic spaces that blur the lines between nature and technology. Discover the intersection of precision and creativity as we showcase a residential project in Kuwait that embraces pixelation as a guiding principle in redefining the modern home environment.

In addition to this, we feature a captivating article on the Kempegowda Airport in India, where landscaping takes center stage in the overall design of the new terminal two. This visionary project goes beyond the conventional expectations of airport architecture, demonstrating how thoughtful landscaping can transform a utilitarian space into a harmonious blend of functionality and natural beauty. Join us on a journey through the innovative features that make Kempegowda Airport a testament to the limitless possibilities of integrating landscaping into urban design.

In the spirit of collaboration, we encourage you to share your thoughts, projects, and success stories with us throughout the year. Let's continue to build a community that fosters growth, creativity and excellence in the regional landscaping industry.


I couldn’t think of a more fitting way for us to end the year than the recent Landscape Middle East Sustainability Awards 2023 that we held on the 15th of November in the opulent Atlantis the Royal, the Palm Dubai.  After a year of planning, we brought together over 500 industry professionals to recognise and honour outstanding achievements in landscape architecture and sustainability across the Middle East region.
With more than 30 awards presented, spanning various categories, including Lifetime Achievement, Prominent Professionals, Rising Stars, Distinguished Organizations, and Project Awards in Urban Landscape, Parks and Recreation, Tourism and Retail, as well as Landscape Art and Landscape Landmarks. The evening was summed up best by Ziad Amine, the Managing Partner of Landscape Middle East, when he expressed his gratitude to the event’s partners, the International Federation of Landscape Architects and the Saudi Society of Landscape Architects, who he said “share our dedication to advancing the landscape industry internationally and within the Middle East.” Before reminding the audience that “our anticipation for future collaborations knows no bounds."
One of the highlights of the evening was the announcement of a groundbreaking partnership between Landscape Middle East Magazine and Michael Haddad, the regional goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for Arab States. This partnership heralds the launch of the "Landscape For All" initiative, which aims to raise awareness about the paramount importance of inclusive landscape design, catering to the diverse needs of individuals, including those with disabilities and their families.


In this issue, Dubai-based NGS architects share their experience of remodeling a beautiful family home in Golf Grove villa, located in the exclusive Dubai Hills Estate enclave. 
Arborist, Mark Laurence explains how landscapers can generate healthy soils and promote regrowth by adopting the practice of Coppicing — a form of landscape management that simply put, utilises woody trees (wood chips) and shrubs to form a mulch that covers the soil.
We review a residential project in one of the busiest and most densely populated urban cities in the world; Life Ladprao: The Valley is located in Bangkok’s CBD district and its designers have used Biophilic design principles to create the project's main landscape concept—a natural valley that promises an adventurous experience. 
From one bustling metropolis to another, we feature The Spiral building in Manhattan, New York. Self-named as the world’s best tall building, in part due to the fact a landscape of The Spiral’s size has never been installed at or above 300 feet elevation in New York City before. With approximately 13,000 square feet of outdoor space, the building has cascading landscaped terraces and hanging gardens that climb the tower in a spiraling motion to create a unique, continuous green ribbon that wraps around its façade, suppling each office floor with readily accessible terrace space. 
Be sure to keep reading to hear more about some of the best projects coming out of India, China and Thailand.

It is an invaluable natural carbon sink now designated as a Natural Protected Area. 20,000 years ago, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), these lands were covered by ice and while the landscape is still harsh to this day, it’s also exceptionally beautiful. 

We’ve included project proposals from architecture firm Luca Curci Architects, in collaboration with Tim Fu Design, who have designed Floating City, a project proposal for a sustainable floating city for 50,000 people. The project has been conceived by an international team of architects and designers with the support of Artificial Intelligence and aims to provide a solution to coastal cities in the face of climate change. See page 30

SYSTRA Dubai also share their proposal with us for an Indian Garden of Peace, part of the Art et jardins I Hauts-de-France in Amiens, France. The creation would be a Remembrance Trail around the Gardens of Peace in the Hauts-de-France region for the soldiers who fought for France in World War I. 

We’ve spoken before about how the pandemic has changed people’s perception of Landscaping and made them much more open-minded when it comes to budgeting for landscape design whilst planning their homes and businesses. In our December issue, we feature several residential and commercial projects around the world that showcase how easily nature can be incorporated into everyday living spaces when landscape architects work side by side with architects and developers at the onset of a project’s planning phase. Gone are the days when landscape design is an afterthought!

In Singapore, Dubai based architects Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) have revealed design plans for a new Lakeside home of the Singapore Science Centre. Designs for the new Singapore Science Centre are inspired by the natural landscape of Singapore’s Jurong Lake Gardens. 
Located next to Chinese Garden MRT station, the aim is for the new Science Centre to open its doors in 2027, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the institution. 

Back in the UAE, we feature residential villa projects in Dubai and Ajman, including a farm house in the desert that is made up of large glass windows, aptly named The Sand Box. It’s the latest project from Anterra Studios providing residents with uninterrupted views of the garden, all framed by the tall palm trees dotted all around the property. 

Don’t miss Dubai based sustainable developer URB’s latest project, which plans to develop the world’s largest agritourism destination in Dubai. It’s expected to create more than 10,000 jobs and give a significant boost to Dubai’s green economy in line with the emirate’s ambition of opening up its rural and wilderness areas to tourists. Agri Hub by URB aims to become a key tourist destination in Dubai’s countryside. 

As we approach the end of 2022, we’d like to thank all of our readers and partners for your support throughout the year and wish you all a happy festive season and best wishes for the New Year!

As World Cup fever sweeps over the Middle East, we take a look at the design of the 40,000-seat Al Janoub Stadium— the first new football stadium commissioned for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar. The design process for the stadium which was built by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) and Aecom started along with Qatar’s new precinct, back in March 2013. As one of the eight venues for the Qatar World Cup, Al Janoub Stadium will host group and quarter-final matches of the tournament and is located in Al Wakrah, a coastal city 23km south of Doha connected to the capital via the Red Line of the new Doha Metro system. Although it’s currently being used as a 40,000-seat football stadium for the 2022 World Cup, it will be reduced to a 20,000-seat capacity following the tournament. 

We move from Qatar to Italy for another one of its kind projects by Italian architect Fabio Mazzeo who designed The sculptural villa at Cala Volpe in Sardinia. The architect says the project interweaves art, design and craftsmanship in this idyllic coastal villa and is unique due to the links between the building and its natural setting. 

Rising from the Hudson River in New York, Little Island is a new public park designed by London based, Heatherwick Studio that shelters three new performance venues. The $260 million, 2.4-acre project was designed as an escape haven for people and wildlife in the middle of the rather large island of Manhattan. It’s a green oasis, held above the water by sculptural planters, and located just a short walk across a gangplank from Manhattan’s Lower West Side. 

We also feature projects in Egypt, Brazil and the UAE in this issue.

Enjoy!

For those of you planning a trip to Qatar for the World Cup, make sure to check out Khalifa Avenue, which has the largest living wall project, not only in the Middle East but the biggest in the world standing at over 7,000 square metres. See page 28 for stunning images of the project which was created by Nakheel and ANS Global.

Also featured in our October issue is a new eco-friendly resort in the Hatta mountains, designed by local landscape architecture practice – plenerr who are assisting LAMI Architects in developing a sustainable design that focuses on creating various natural outdoor experiences throughout the project. See page 20.

I can imagine as a landscape architect there is no better feeling than watching children play and have fun in the spaces you have designed for them. GAJ have designed Ladybird Nursery Al Barsha  their second nursery school to design and landscape. See the outdoor play areas and interconnected spaces come to life on page 26.

We also showcase two private villa renovation projects in Dubai that maximise their outdoor living spaces for the families who own them through clever, innovative and sustainable design. 

Enjoy the issue!



In this issue, we speak to the Founder’s of Anterra Studio, about what it takes to cut it as a brilliant Landscape architects nowadays, and we get his perspective on what it’s like to work in the Middle East compared to Asia; from the difference in attitudes towards design to plant selection and to how seriously he takes climate change. 

In our projects section this month, we feature a newly built urban school in Shenzhen, China, created by New York based Studio Link-Arc. The low-rise composition of the building allows the school to create an open oasis within a densely packed residential community that allows students to move freely between indoors and outdoors. 
We also feature the the first female architect to design a Mosque in the UAE. British educated, Saudi Sumaya Dabbagh built the mosque in Dubai in the name of the Late Abdulkhaliq Gargash. A wealthy UAE businessman who passed away in 2016. Dabbagh takes us inside the mosque and explains her design and vision for this contemporary place of worship. 

In case anyone is having the summer blues after their vacation, we feature a dreamy coastal villa befitting royalty. Designed for a wealthy family, Estate Villa in Abu Dhabi, UAE was designed by Yodezeen architects and features artistic milling on the roof and light and airy spaces throughout to make the most of the seaviews.

Enjoy the issue


In the August issue of Landscape ME, we meet the women who are on a mission to save Beirut’s Pine Forest, one of the last remaining public green forests in the city. Moukarzel Sarkissian and Dima Rachid are the founders of studiolibani, a landscape architect and urban strategist studio with operations in Dubai, Beirut, and London. They believe that “a resilient urban Beirut” is the answer to the myriad of challenges that the city is currently facing. Tackling issues of urban resilience, climatic resilience, social equality, economic growth, and emergency response are also on their agenda. Read more on page 18.

We also feature veteran Landscape architect and author, Edward Flaherty in this issue. Ed reflects on his international career spanning 50 years across Europe, the US and Middle East. See page 8

Staying with the theme of connecting our youth to nature while studying, we showcase a nature inspired vision for the new Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in the US. New York Landscape architects OSD and lead architects Polk Stanley Wilcox are building a first-of-its-kind medical school in Arkansas in the US. The campus is designed to seamlessly connect with the surrounding woodlands and the Ozarks at-large. Page 28

Back in the region, Dubai-based Architect and Urbanist, Junior Andrade shares his latest project, ‘Abo Omar Palace’ in Jeddah.  The complex comprises a grand palace and four luxury villas, one for each of the client's children. Page14
