In an age that has been marked by splendorous developments like the mile high Burj Dubai tower, Klingmann is bringing a new cultural awareness to the table.Projects in development include Khawr Awqad, a conscientious development inspired by the culture of the Dhofar people in the ancient city of Salalah, Oman comprised of an eco resort, sustainable residential community and ecological public park. Birthplace and residence of the Sultan Quaboos bin Said Al Said, Salalah will soon be bustling with outdoor cafes and restaurants featuring rich cultural arts of the region with the untouched wildlife within reach. Highlights of the plan include undulating foot trails, lush botanical gardens and a public eco park with educational facilities and peaceful waterscapes.
Other projects in store include a sustainable mixed-use master plan suitable for major cities in the Middle East. This plan features experiential zones featuring live work loft spaces, townhouse residences, outdoor cafes, water features, green spaces and cutting edge retail as well as unique landscape designs based on Arabic calligraphy.
Metropolitan cities in the region such as Jeddah, Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait, Dubai and Abu Dhabi (among others) would benefit from this unique values driven vision of development.
