The Contemporary Area of Al Seef Scoops the Best International Architecture Award
With a strong focus on waterfront experiences and cultural links, AL SEEF (The Contemporary Area) designed by 10 Design won the Best International Architecture at the A&D Trophy Awards 2018 by Perspective Magazine. The new development has activated 670m of the Dubai Creek waterfront with boutique food and beverage, retail, hospitality, and marina amenities over a total of 85,000sqm. The two hotels under the Zabeel House by Jumeirah brand further extend the diversity and vibrancy of this exciting destination.
Dubai-based holding company, Meraas, is committed to enrich Dubai’s tourism industry by rejuvenating Dubai Creek into a new tourism destination – Al Seef. Stretching 1.8 km along the creek, the development is located in the historic heart of Dubai adjacent to the Al Fahidi Cultural Historical Neighborhood.
Al Seef is conceptualised to embrace the Emirati culture and yet at the same time shape the modern lifestyle of Dubai. The new development is created to attract substantial new thinking and investment in Dubai with an aspiration to become one of the UAE’s most popular destinations.
The A&D Trophy Awards were created in 2004 to celebrate excellence in architecture, interior design and product design across Asia-Pacific and beyond, with a panel of expert local and international judges ensuring that only genuinely exceptional work is rewarded.
