SAMANA Greenfield 2

Greenfield 2 by Samana Developers presents the second residential chapter, rising as a high-rise tower at Dubai International City 2 with exclusive 1 & 2-bedroom apartments. The facade presents an amalgam where the gentle sunlight of the Arabian Gulf floods the city’s ever-expanding borders, offering a tranquil haven for those who value privacy, space and quiet, but desire to be near the heart of the action. Over an expansive site address, the essence is preserved; an architectural stamp that has been carried through to a new town block as a series of dwellings to be organised around trees, walkways, shaded courtyards and quiet internal roads and streets which help to make the pace quite easy going. Each of the unit is made of warm and neutral colours and gentle horizontal lines, allowing an abundance of natural light that illuminates the interiors of the houses and helps to moderate the heat of the desert.

The interior of the houses looks towards an open, flexible space that allows for the bedrooms to join to each other on the fringes owing to their private placement. The living, dining and lounge areas to merge cohesively from one section to the next, while using a palette of natural materials, matte stone and warm timber tones. The bathrooms and kitchens feature modern cabinets and neutral fitting choices that are chosen because they will look good and feel comfortable in the long-term, and floor to ceiling windows surround the private outdoor terrace to create the illusion of an open and liveable space that extends beyond the building’s interior. Everything from the door handles through to the light fittings has been selected to help create a perceived comfort.

Ideally located within the International City community, the façade is within close proximity to the major roads of Dubai. At the same time in a very suburban rhythm that is buffered by planted verges and communal green spaces that soften the transition between the home and the city. The project is seen as a part of a larger residential aspiration championed by the developers, one that is derived from a consistency of design and quality of construction, plus lifestyle amenity rather than density to make it the logical extension of an already familiar address.
