Blending nature, culture and metropolitan life
Um Yafenah is an island community set within mangroves of rare and natural beauty at the heart of Abu Dhabi. A critical approach to urban planning and development was adopted in order to capture an outstanding civic environment that rises above the overflow of development prevalent in the region. The unique aspect of this island development lies in the creation of a new standard in vibrant and contemporary family living that respects local culture and heritage. The project’s well-devised feasibility and viability is balanced by providing an exclusive modern living environment that respects the sustainability of the natural habitats.
