SSH has won the contract to design villas and apartment blocks at Al Mouj, Muscat, a mixed-use beach-side development close to the city’s new international airport.
The Middle East-based infrastructure, building design and project management firm will design two villa prototypes to be used in Zunairah, a limited collection of exclusive beachfront villas within Al Mouj, a joint venture between the Omani government and UAE-based Majid Al Futtaim Properties.
Zunairah iwill have two types of villa covering built up areas with 900 m2 and 1,800 m2 respectively while Juman One, the first instalment in the Al Mouj development, offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
SSH was also awarded the design of Ghadeer master plan, a community focused neighbourhood with facilities like kindergarten and multi-purpose hall. The award came following the successful delivery of two master plans for Almouj, Muscat; Zunairah and Jinan master plans.
On the project win, Danny Warde, the resident director at SSH Oman, said: “This is one of the most iconic developments currently taking place in the Sultanate, in addition to OCEC, and we are honoured to be working on both projects.
“The lifestyle offered by Al Mouj Muscat will see Oman align its upscale residential offering to rival its Gulf neighbours.”
