MND Residential

Terraced gardens in Islamic architecture are a striking and functional embodiment of the Islamic ideal of merging nature and geometry in built environments. Designed on stepped levels, these gardens reflect the Islamic principles of symmetry, balance, and a harmonious relationship between humans and nature, with notable examples found in early Indo-Persian and Arabian contexts. Often based on the Chahar Bagh (Four Gardens) concept, these gardens are divided into four sections by walkways or water channels. The terraced design introduces a sense of elevation and hierarchy, with water flowing from higher to lower levels, symbolizing abundance and divine grace. Terraces are particularly well-suited to hilly or uneven landscapes, offering both a practical and aesthetic solution, integral to Islamic garden design.

This proposal for a residential building in Dubai draws inspiration from these architectural traditions, incorporating elements such as Indo-Persian terraces and Arabesque facades adorned with bay windows and intricate decorations.
