Nikken Sekkei signed for Jumeira Gardens

Japanese eco-pioneering architecture practice Nikken Sekkei was recently commissioned by Meraas to design one of the districts within Dubai's massive Jumeira Gardens project, which was launched at the beginning of October 2008.

Nikken Sekkei has been tasked with the design of a ‘sustainable oasis' within the project, which will make use of natural breeze corridors to ventilate the site.

"Our spirit complements the latest international market trends in sustainability, especially here in the Middle East, where efficiency, design and sustainability are combined with a long term vision," explained Mr. Mitsuo Nakamura, chairman of Nikken Sekkei.

"Meraas Development embodies that ethos by focusing on holistic urban planning, to enhance every aspect of city life, through sustainable design."

Jumeirah Gardens is the first masterplan project for the new developer Meraas.
