The master plan utilizes a ‘central courtyard’ scheme with the addition of a central axis directed towards the ‘Qibla’ Mecca which represents a link between the development and the holy city.
Throughout the project a repeated Islamic geometric pattern is used as a motif to unite and tie in the general zones, detailing and proportions of various building elements on site.
