The brief
Timber Terrace is a mid-rise apartment building in the Residential District of Dubai South, currently under construction. It is planned at eight storeys, with apartments of one, two or three bedrooms.
The apartments are specified with floor-to-ceiling glazing, and each is planned with its own private balcony.
The design is set out around daylight. The building's orientation is specified to follow the path of the sun, so that the apartments are meant to take in natural light while the design limits the heat that comes with it.
Khatib & Alami is named as the architectural consultant, and the main construction contract is with Vision House Building Contracting.
The facilities specified for Timber Terrace are planned rather than built. They fall into three groups.
Pools. A swimming pool, a separate pool for children and a Jacuzzi.
Sport and fitness. A walking track, a pickleball court and a gym.
Leisure and work. A gaming zone, a play area for children, a business centre, and seating areas that include sunken seating.
Originally named Dubai World Central, Dubai South is a city planned as a whole around Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai's second airport, which has handled cargo flights since 2010 and passenger flights since 2013. Its masterplan extends over approximately 145 square kilometres, split into eight integrated districts. Both freehold and leasehold property is held there, across residential, office, commercial and retail use.
The Residential District, once called Residential City, takes up 715 hectares in the north-east of Dubai South. The original masterplan set apartment buildings of five to ten storeys along the district, with the taller blocks concentrated on its main spine, and plots from 2,200 m² to around 12,000 m².
The first two communities built in the district were The Villages and The Pulse:
By 2022 the Residential District had over 25,000 residents, and over 1,400 townhouses and apartments at The Pulse had been handed over. Facilities at The Pulse include tracks for running and cycling, landscaped walkways, eight gyms, swimming pools and several parks.
Metro access to the wider area came in May 2020, when the Red Line extension to the former Expo 2020 grounds was completed; its Expo station links Dubai South to the rest of the network.
