T.ZED Architects have wrapped KOA Canvas a unique new residential community in Dubai representing a new era in modernized urban property development, with thermally-modified American tulipwood. Over 750 square meters of tulipwood thermally-modified (TMT) have been used to create the cladding element, which also transforms into an outdoor shaded walkway and elevated public balcony.
KOA Canvas comprises a collection of 86 residencies, a member?s only workplace and social club (Nasab), a multi-purpose amphitheater, a photography studio, a caf̩? and restaurant, fitness facilities, spa treatment rooms and 2 infinity pools. This mixed-use development aims to re-interpret how people live, to re-imagine the public realm of cities, and last but not least to enable social interactions. T.ZED Architects? design approach was anchored in the investigation of the site itself, the opportunity of responding to a diverse set of expectations and programmes Рin such a non-typical mixed-use development, as well as materializing the client?s vision into a forward-thinking architectural language and an urban catalyst for a new type of neighborhood in a city like Dubai.
