Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE, will soon have a new urban hub — Makers Community — an advanced district-level development, which will feature among other spaces, a dynamic residential development "Pixel" by MVRDV.Spread over 76,000sq.m. and comprising retail, office, makers, and community spaces, "Pixel" is MVRDV’s new way of approaching communities, neighborhoods, and the way of living and working. The development features a mini-tower configuration of seven mid-rises, designed to offer maximum views of the surroundings. A fully pedestrianized plaza is the heart of the neighborhood, which when ready will invite a larger flow of people from the marina, the adjacent beach, and “The Artery.” Along with residential, retail, and community spaces, "Pixel" also focuses on co-working and makers spaces with small 50 square meters units for start-up businesses.MVRDV has redefined the typical “penthouse” approach with studio apartments on every level, and luxurious large apartments facing the lively central plaza on third, fourth, and fifth floors. Pure concrete and ceramics make for a sober façade design, with rough and patterned surfaces balancing the refined and smooth. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2020.For more details, visit: https://www.mvrdv.nl/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the project. Read more
