Nudra Saadiyat

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Type: Urban Development
Client: Imkan
Year: 

Nudra is a sustainable development consisting of exquisite and seafront villas which can make a contribution to the development of Abu Dhabi as a growing real estate market . It is a beach community consisting of end villa located on Saadiyat Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi.
Masiam has been awarded the project as lead consultants, master planners, architects, interior designers, structural engineers and leading a team of Landscapers and MEP & infrastructure engineers.

Comprising 37 villas within three districts – The Shores, The Dunes and The Beach Villas – The development will include a tennis court, a clubhouse, a gym and an infinity pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf, with the family park making up the spine of the community. A third level roof floor or penthouse was introduced to all the units to provide a private family space directly facing Saadiyat’s waters and culture district.

Nudra’s design is human centric and completely based on how the residents experience their surroundings. A harmony is maintained in the architectural language, and material, as all the villas are stone cladded and modern in design. Through the design of the villas we were able to achieve a great mix of a contemporary design that still maintains a modernised traditional feel in its layering, fenestrations, and materials.
On the whole, the Nudra community has a lot of distinct features not common to most developments in the emirates, including the fact that it is built within a low-density area. But the real distinguishing factor lies in the opportunity for residents to design their own home interiors, with Imkan only providing the shell and core of the homes.
