SSH wins Muscat oceanfront project contract

SSH, a leading infrastructure, building design and project management firm in the Middle East, said it has won the contract to design villas and apartment blocks at Al Mouj, Muscat, (formally known as The Wave, Muscat), a high-profile mixed-use destination in Oman. A thriving waterfront community, few minutes away from the new international airport, Al Mouj, Muscat, is a public-private venture between the Omani government and UAE-based Majid Al Futtaim Properties. As per the deal, SSH will design two villa prototypes to be used in the latest addition to Al Mouj Muscat community master plan - Zunairah, a limited collection of exclusive beachfront villas. Split into two zones, Z1 with a total built-up area of 900 sq m, and Z2 with a 1,800 sq m built-up area, the prototypes are designed to provide the ultimate in luxury, aiming to set a new benchmark for residential living in the sultanate. The apartment blocks, Juman One, provide resort-living services of elegance and style. It will offer uninterrupted views to Almouj Marina, the award-winning marina and flagship yachting and sailing destination in Oman. Offering one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, Juman One was designed with serenity and sophistication embedded in its architectural ethos. With services to match, the prestigious residence will offer a modern gym with male and female spas and changing rooms, an owners’ lounge and outside lounging areas, games room, and a concierge service, said the SSH in its statement. There are also three adjacent pools cascading towards the marina, made up of a lounging pool, children’s pool and a lap pool. Six penthouses are designed with the same theme in mind, offering opulent architecture with open-plan features, spa bathrooms, terraces, and five-bedroom units, with two central penthouses offering a private outdoor lap pool and jacuzzi. The world-class lifestyle and leisure destination created a thriving waterfront community along the 6-km stretch of coast in Muscat. Al Mouj, Muscat comprises luxury residential properties, retail and dining facilities, Oman’s only signature designed PGA standard 18-hole links golf course and the 400-berth Almouj Marina, the largest private yachting hub in the sultanate. SSH was also awarded the design of the Ghadeer masterplan, a community focused neighbourhood at Almouj, with facilities like kindergarten and multi-purpose hall. The Ghadeer award came following the successful delivery of two master plans for Zunairah and Jinan for Al Mouj, Muscat. 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," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
